The Southern Illinois University Board of Trustees yesterday approved a five percent tuition increase for the 2013-14 Academic Year that results in a $348 increase over last year for newly entering, in-state undergraduates on the Edwardsville campus. A $198 annual increase (3.0 percent) also was approved for SIUE graduate students for the coming fall.
In addition, the board also approved other tuition change proposals that result in an annual three percent increases for students enrolled in the professional schools of Dental Medicine and Pharmacy. The overall tuition proposal was considered during the board’s regular May meeting conducted on the Carbondale campus.
Under the new guidelines, the annual tuition rate will be $7,296 for new full-time undergraduate students (15 hours per semester) entering this coming fall. Undergraduate students currently in a guaranteed tuition plan will see no increase in their annual tuition rate. Students in the SIUE Graduate School will pay $6,702 in tuition.
The School of Pharmacy annual tuition will be $22,764, while the SIU School of Dental Medicine annual tuition will increase to $28,552.
