analyzed 10 years of undergraduate tuition and fee data from the National Center for Education Statistics. Historical prices were converted to 2022 dollars using the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Consumer Price Index.
Meanwhile, average tuition for all two- and four-year universities statewide has been declining slightly over the past decade, with overall unadjusted tuition decreasing by less than 1% each year. And that doesn’t account for aid, or for other expenses like fees, which are typically set by a board and can be highly variable among institutions.At least a third of the state’s public and private institutions, including UA System schools, froze tuition throughout the pandemic.
That can make college costs tough to compare among institutions – and some students may be more likely to go for an out-of-state school with a higher sticker price if they are able to get more in scholarships, said BSC President Daniel Coleman.
