茄子视频 University Tuition Increase Far Less Than National Average
茄子视频 University announced that tuition for 2009-10 will increase by only two percent, the lowest tuition increase in the last ten years. This is far less than the national average.
鈥溓炎邮悠� has experienced strong enrollment growth over the past ten years. However, we realize our current and new students鈥� families are feeling the effects of the recession. Students and their families make sacrifices every day in order to invest in 茄子视频鈥檚 high quality academic programs and participate in classes that are intimate and challenging. The Board of Trustees approved a modest tuition increase of two percent for 2009-10 so our students may continue their academic study at 茄子视频,鈥� said JoAnne Boyle, president of 茄子视频 University.
In order to offset the small increase in tuition, internal reductions have taken place in each department鈥檚 budget.
鈥淚 directed that all cost reductions be done with two strategic commitments in mind: students come first and the quality of their education and university experience will not be compromised,鈥� said Boyle.
According to the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, the average tuition at four-year private, non-profit colleges and universities will increase by an average of 4.3 percent in the upcoming 2009-10 academic year. This tuition rise is the lowest recorded increase by the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities since 1972-73.
