University sets tuition rates
For the 2008-09 academic year, the University Board of
Trustees has approved a 5.9 percent increase in tuition from $34,380 to
$36,410 for the College of Arts, Sciences, and Engineering. Costs for the
most common room and board plans will grow 2 percent from $10,600 to
$10,810. This smaller increase reflects some modifications to the meal plan
program. The term bill for undergraduates in the College will total
$47,220.
Tuition revenue helps support existing academic
programs and helps provide for new ones, such as forthcoming programs in
international relations and economics and business strategies as well as
initiatives that connect the humanities to the sciences and engineering,
says President Seligman.
The increase also will support classroom improvements,
information technology, infrastructure, and transportation.
Tuition for incoming freshmen at the Eastman School of
Music will reflect a 9.9 percent increase from $31,720 to $34,860. This is
the result of a multiyear plan to make Eastman’s tuition comparable
to that of the College. Eastman sophomores, juniors, and seniors will see a
5.9 percent increase.
The rates for 2008-09 at the University’s
professional schools are: $38,700 for the School of Medicine and Dentistry,
a 4 percent increase; $32,500 for the School of Nursing, a 4.2 percent
increase; $39,030 for the William E. Simon Graduate School of Business
Administration, a 5.9 percent increase; and $32,930 for the Margaret
Warner Graduate School of Education and Human Development, a 4 percent
increase.
