Tuition for University of Rochester undergraduates in the College and for freshman and sophomore Eastman School of Music students will increase 4 percent for the coming academic year from $39,480 to $41,040.
The term bill of tuition, room, and board will grow a total of 4 percent from $51,120 to $53,160 for the 2011-12 year.
\"We remain vigilant about expenditures across the University while we continue to deliver the highest educational quality for our students,\" said University President Joel Seligman. \"The slow economic growth nationally remains a burden to families dealing with the financial downturn.\"
For the coming year, the College has increased its commitment to student financial aid by 4 percent to
$76.6 million.
Eastman School juniors and seniors also will see a 4 percent tuition increase to $39,490 and $38,050, respectively, because of tuition rate changes since they enrolled.
