<p>I applied to a WUE-eligible major at Arizona State University (I'm from California), guaranteeing me 150% of the instate tuition as opposed to full OOS tuition. However, if I wanted to double major in a non-WUE major, will I be paying any more (provided I graduate on time)?</p>
<p>I was using their tuition calculator, and according to the information provided, non-resident tuition is capped at $10,129 for 12 or more hours enrolled hours. For my WUE-eligible major, tuition is capped at $5,845 for 12 or more enrolled hours.</p>
<p>Can anybody shed some light on this? I don't know how to calculate my costs.</p>
<p>If it matters, the WUE-eligible major I applied for is Technological Entrepreneurship and Management, and I would like to couple it with a major Air Traffic Management. The FAA is currently in the process of hiring over 10,000 new controllers, but their hiring surge is expected to finish by 2014, so it would be nice to have more applicable and much broader major to fall back on if all doesn't go well.</p>
<p>As I understand it, WUE will not allow you to double major in an non-eligible area at the reduced WUE rates. WUE tuition reduction waivers apply ONLY to the eligible majors. (The thinking is that the programs listed for the tuition reduction are under-enrolled and offering them at a reduced rate will fill the otherwise empty seats.)</p>
<p>BTW, just to be sure you know: each WUE school sets its own cap on the total number of tuition reduction waivers they will give. (Total number per school, not total number by program.) Waivers are awarded competitively and thus are not guaranteed.</p>
<p>I would still be able to pay the WUE price for the eligible major, but pay full price for any extra classes I take towards the Air Traffic Management major, right? Or would double-majoring make ASU void the WUE tuition? I have yet to hear back from the university, but I plan on calling them up tomorrow and hope to get a straightforward answer then. All of my emails so far have been replied to with generic auto-response emails that include a dandy “thanks for your interest” and a few links.</p>
<p>& according to [WUE:</a> New Student Requirements | Arizona State University](<a href=“http://students.asu.edu/node/8483]WUE:”>http://students.asu.edu/node/8483), “All applicants meeting eligibility requirements will automatically receive the WUE rate.” Then in addition to the lowered rate, “WUE freshmen may be eligible for an ASU non-resident merit-based WUE scholarship. ASU will notify qualified admitted freshmen in writing of this award.” So it looks like the tuition rate is given to everyone at ASU, and then a competitive scholarship is also given out.</p>
