BOV Sets Summer Tuition and Fee Rates

By Broadside News Editor Kevin Loker

Mason's Board of Visitors set tuition and fee rates for summer 2009 at its meeting on March 25. In-state undergraduates will pay $337 per credit hour this summer, a $24 increase over the 2008-09 academic year, while out-of-state undergraduates will pay $1,003 per credit hour, a $66.50 increase.

Because the university budget will not be finalized until the May 2009 BOV meeting, rates for the 2009-10 academic year may differ.

The board additionally approved a new BA in Russian and Eurasian Studies degree program and an MS in Geoinformatics and Geospatial Intelligence degree program, which now go to the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia for approval.
