Tuition Rises 3.5 Percent at Kent State for Fall 2011
Increase follows approval of state budget, which cuts support to Kent State by $16 million
Tuition at Kent State University will increase by 3.5 percent this fall for undergraduate and graduate students.
The 3.5 percent increase is the full amount allowed by Ohio legislators in the new state budget, which is expected to cut state dollars to Kent State by $16 million — about $3 million more than university administrators said they expected to lose.
Effective fall semester 2011, undergraduate tuition for students at the Kent Campus will increase $158 per semester (from $4,515 to $4,673). Graduate tuition will increase $168 per semester (from $4,803 to $4,971). There was no increase in the surcharge for non-Ohio residents.
