The Kansas Board of Regents approved tuition rates for all of the state universities, and several are raising their rates.

K-State and KU will not be changing their tuition rates.

Wichita, Emporia, Fort Hays, and Pittsburg will be raising their tuition rates by $62 to $75 per semester. This is for resident undergraduate students.

“Our institutions are facing incredibly difficult choices as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said KBOR Chair Shane Bangerter. “In the face of revenue losses, increased costs and continued uncertainty, universities made great efforts to ensure that students do not bear the cost. As a result, we were able hold tuition flat or keep increases as low as possible.”

In 2019, state universities did not raise costs thanks in part to a $34 million increase in state funding.
