Students attending several Michigan public universities will see higher tuition costs this fall after schools approved increases for the upcoming academic year.
Tuition Increases
The University of Michigan approved a 3% increase in undergraduate in-state tuition, while Wayne State University, Grand Valley State University and Western Michigan University each approved tuition increases of 4%. Michigan State University also approved a tuition increase of just under 4% for the fall semester.
University officials have cited rising costs and the need to maintain academic programs and campus operations as factors considered during tuition decisions.
The Michigan College Access Network said the impact of higher tuition costs will vary among students, noting that more financial aid is being directed toward helping students cover college expenses.
