A difficult economic outlook has forced several Texas universities to increase tuition for the 2024-2025 academic year.
Reports say inflation and the impacts on labor and the costs of goods and services certainly are the main reasons for the increases.
At Baylor University, tuition will increase by 6%, At TCU, by 7.9%, and the University of Houston System is also allowing tuition increases of up to 5%.
Student housing could also increase by up to 5%, and meal plan rates could increase by 5.4% for residential students and 5.8% for commuter students.
Tuition will again increase in the 2025-2026 academic year.
