Pitt announces tuition increase

Pitt’s in-state tuition will increase 8.5 percent this year, while out-of-state will increase… Pitt’s in-state tuition will increase 8.5 percent this year, while out-of-state will increase 4 percent.

The announcement came this morning at Pitt’s Board of Trustees Budget Committee meeting. The rest of Pitt’s $1.9 billion budget is also being discussed.

In-state tuition last year was $14,076 and out-of-state was $23,732 for the School of Arts and Sciences. Due to these tuition fees, Pitt was ranked as the second most expensive public university in the country by a Department of Education analysis.

Chancellor Mark Nordenberg said that, due to a 19 percent cut in state funding, Pitt had to find ways to compensate for the loss. Temple, another state-related university who has similar enrollment and state funding cuts, announced a 10 percent tuition hike last week.

The other two state-related universities, Lincoln University and Penn State University, have not announced their tuition for the coming year.
