July 3, 2002--Tuition this fall for full-time University of Delaware undergraduate and graduate students will increase by $300 for Delawareans and $740 for nonresidents.
The new annual rates are $5,070 for Delawareans and $14,600 for nonresident students.
“The University of Delaware continues its commitment to providing a quality education at an affordable rate, particularly in these difficult financial times,” University President David P. Roselle said.
“It is a mark of the University’s stability and solid management that we are able to keep tuition increases lower than those that have been announced at many other institutions,” Roselle said.
“The quality of the educational experience at UD, coupled with the relatively low costs and the availability of financial aid, make UD a great value,” he said. “The rate is a particular bargain for Delaware residents, who pay a lower rate to attend what is arguably the hottest school.
“Residents also benefit from an increased number of scholarships provided by donors to the University and several corporations, most importantly MBNA,” Roselle said.
Tuition and fee hikes for the 2002-03 academic year are the result of numerous factors, including salary increases, increases in employee health insurance fees, water and energy costs and the installation of sprinklers in all residence halls, he said.
Full-time graduate tuition is the same as that for undergraduates, with the exception of those in-state students pursuing the master of business administration (MBA) degree. The new tuition rate for full-time Delaware resident MBA students is $6,400.
