Ohio State proposes tuition, housing, and meal plan cost increases.….
The Ohio State Board of Trustees will explore raising tuition, housing, and food plan prices for the 2024-2025 academic year. Tuition for new freshmen is proposed to increase by 3%, or $385, for the 2023-2024 academic year. The 3% increase is less than the national inflation rate of 4.1% each year.
The increase would raise the annual cost of in-state tuition to $13,244 and the cost of the most popular on-campus housing and meal options to $14,810, for a total of little more than $28,000. General graduate tuition rates and regional campus tuition rates are also expected to rise by 3%.
The recommendation before the board also includes the continuation of the Ohio State Tuition Guarantee programme for the eighth consecutive year, which assures that a student’s tuition and fees will remain the same throughout his or her degree programme. Currently, Ohio State is the fourth most costly public university in the state for in-state tuition.
Currently, Ohio State is the state’s fourth most expensive public university in terms of in-state tuition. When compared to universities with comparable undergraduate enrollment figures, the cost of attendance is nearly equal.
The Board of Trustees is anticipated to vote on the increases during its meeting on Thursday.
