Wisconsin’s in-state undergraduate students will see a tuition hike of 3.75 percent in the fall, Universities of Wisconsin President Jay Rothman announced Thursday. The proposal will be considered by the Board of Regents on April 4.
Rothman said the 2024-25 increase is necessary to keep up with inflation. The tuition hike increases UW System revenue about $39 million, but with inflation the money is intangible, Rothman said.
Seven universities are proposing a fee increase on top of the 3.75 percent to fund specific needs such as academic advising, financial aid, and faculty hiring in high demand programs. Rothman said segregated fees will also increase by an average of $74 per year.
The proposed resident undergraduate tuition and segregated fees for each university in 2024–25 are as follows:
- UW-Eau Claire: $9,643
- UW-Green Bay: $8,700
- UW-La Crosse: $9,896
- UW-Madison: $11,604
- UW-Milwaukee: $10,398
- UW-Oshkosh: $8,532
- UW-Parkside: $8,271
- UW-Platteville: $8,425
- UW-River Falls: $8,824
- UW-Stevens Point: $9,049
- UW-Stout: $9,386
- UW-Superior: $8,813
- UW-Whitewater: $8,406
