Tuition rates for non-resident students at Emporia State University will come down after the Kansas Board of Regents approved the university’s proposal this week.
ESU is reducing the non-resident rate to 2.5 times the resident rate instead of the current 3.7 multiplier, dropping the undergraduate tuition by over $3,100 per semester and nearly $2,000 for graduate students.
ESU is holding tuition rates flat for resident undergraduate and graduate students — with the exception of a modest increase for accelerated online masters programs in the School of Business.
Several fees will go up as part of the budget package.
This follows a $2 million cut to ESU’s general use base budget and an enrollment decline due to the COVID-19 pandemic. ESU has announced plans to cut nearly $5 million from its base budget through fiscal 2022 as well as another $834,000 from auxiliary operating budgets.
