Tens of thousands of in-state undergraduate UMass students face a 2.5% jump in tuition in the 2022-2023 academic year:
Tuition across all University of Massachusetts campuses will increase this fall for the first time in three years, ending a pandemic-era freeze as the higher education system's leaders grapple with dark financial clouds on the horizon.proposed
UMass had suspended annual tuition increases on its four non-medical campuses for each of the past two years during the COVID-19 pandemic, a move that UMass President Marty Meehan on Wednesday estimated led to about $32 million in foregone revenue. UMass officials argued that the average 2.5% tuition increase is significantly lower than the inflation rate.
Tuition and fee increases will also hit UMass Law, where the combined cost for in-state students will rise 3.2% to $30,175, and the UMass Chan Medical School. Combined tuition and fees will increase roughly 2.5% at the T.H. Chan School of Medicine, Tan Chingfen Graduate School of Nursing and Morningside Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences.
While he said UMass is in"very good fiscal shape," Board of Trustees Chair Robert Manning said the system"continue to struggle with enrollment," which could exacerbate funding headaches moving forward.
