UW Colleges tuition frozen at 2006 rates
MADISON, Wis. – The University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents approved tuition rates for the 2009-10 academic year at its July 9 meeting and froze tuition for the third consecutive year for 12,735 resident students enrolled at the UW Colleges, the 13 freshman-sophomore campuses that provide the foundation for the bachelor’s degree.
"Maintaining tuition at 2006 rates for the 2009-2010 academic year means that the UW Colleges will continue to be the most affordable access point for anyone who wants to start, continue or complete a degree," said UW Colleges and UW-Extension Chancellor David Wilson, who has spearheaded the push to keep the UW Colleges affordable, especially in these challenging economic times.
With this tuition freeze, the UW Colleges will maintain its long–held reputation as an affordable choice for incoming students of all ages who can then complete a baccalaureate degree at any four–year UW campus. Students are also able to complete some bachelor’s degrees right at their local UW Colleges campus.
The tuition for two semesters at the UW Colleges will remain at $4,268 for 2009–10. This is approximately $1,100 less than the four–year comprehensive campuses, $2,600 less than at UW–Milwaukee and $3,000 less than the tuition at UW–Madison.
