2023 United StatesPublic universitiesThere have been some changes in tuition fees. For example, the University of California system announced in 2021, through a resolution of the board of directors, that tuition fees for undergraduate freshmen and transfer students will increase starting in the fall of 2022. This four-year-old move means that tuition fees will be adjusted year by year based on the inflation rate, and the specific value will be between about 0.5%-2%.
This means that in the 2023-24 academic year, the basic tuition fee for the University of California system will be US$13,752, and the out-of-state supplementary tuition will increase to US$31,026, and the total annual cost of attendance will increase to US$41,052! This fee is only the basic tuition fee for California universities, and the actual total will depend on the campus. For example, the total tuition for in-state students at the University of California, Irvine is $17,357. For out-of-state students, the total tuition and fees ($32,574) is as high as $49,931!
Fortunately, parents who are already enrolled don't have to worry. The "UC Tuition Stability Plan" ensures that annual tuition increases will not be retroactive. Starting in the fall of 2022, the annual tuition fee for undergraduate freshmen and transfer students will be the same as the year of enrollment, and can be maintained for up to six academic years.
➤Public universities are raising prices, increasing the burden for international students
At the same time, a total of five universities, the University of Virginia, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the Ohio State University at Columbus, and the University of Maryland at Park, also announced increases in in-state and out-of-state tuition fees in 2022. . The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which occupies a place among the "public Ivies," has raised tuition for out-of-state students. International students who originally targeted these six universities may have to weigh their choices again!
➤Under the rising wind, there is still salvation
Despite all the gains at public universities, there are still those who are not swinging by the trend. Purdue University, which has had tuition freezes for 12 consecutive years, still insists on offering tuition at the original price in 2023.
This public research university, founded in 1869 in West Lafayette, Indiana, is ranked among the top in the field of engineering, and many of the epoch-making innovations that promoted the development of academic disciplines were born here. Purdue University attaches great importance to history, tradition and achievements. It is not only a research university that aims to cultivate students' innovation and creativity, but also cares for students very thoughtfully. The proportion of international students is the second highest among public universities in the United States. In addition, public schools such as the University of Florida, the University of Texas at Austin and Georgia Tech have decided to maintain their original prices in 2023.
