UD tuition to increase

3:30 p.m., July 3, 2003--Annual tuition for full-time University of Delaware undergraduate and graduate students will increase by $580 this fall.

The new annual rates are $5,890 for Delawareans and $15,420 for nonresident students.

“The University of Delaware remains a top value in higher education,” University President David P. Roselle said. “In fact, UD has won national recognition for providing high quality at a surprisingly low cost.

“Coupled with the availability of financial aid, UD is particularly a bargain for Delaware residents who pay significantly less than out-of-state students to attend one of the hottest schools in the region,” he said.

“Despite difficult economic times, the University’s solid management and resourcefulness have enabled us to hold this year’s tuition increase to a reasonable amount at a time when many of our peer institutions have made dramatic adjustments in their fee structures,” Roselle said.

Tuition and fee hikes for the 2003-04 academic year reflect several factors, including salary increases, increases in employee health insurance fees and water and energy costs, 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 also will increase by $580 to $7,220.

The 2003 edition of Kaplan’s “The Unofficial, Unbiased Insider’s Guide to the 320 Most Interesting Colleges” rates UD a “best value” university as providing the best quality of education for the tuition dollar, based on a national survey of guidance counselors. The publication also noted UD’s focus on undergraduate research, study abroad and technology. A 2002 listing of “Cool Schools” in Careers and Colleges Magazine called UD “a public university that is affordable, medium-size and academically rigorous.”
