University System of Georgia Raising Tuition by 2.5%

ATLANTA — In-state undergraduates at Georgia’s public colleges and universities will be paying 2.5% more for tuition during the coming school year.

After keeping tuition flat at all but one of the University System of Georgia’s 26 institutions for six of the past eight years, the system’s Board of Trustees approved the tuition hike Tuesday, April 16. Out-of-state students will see a 5% increase, and a new third level of tuition for out-of-country students will be set at 2% above the out-of-state rate.
