The Board of Trustees approved a 4.5% increase in tuition rate and a corresponding 4.5% increase in need-based aid for next fall.
Tuition will increase by $2,320 to $53,890 for full-time undergraduates in the 2022-23 academic year. Hourly rates for undergraduates and graduate students will increase by the same percentage.
The raise is a response to “escalating operational costs and rising rates of inflation,” Chancellor Victor Boschini wrote Tuesday in a campus-wide email.
Last year, TCU decided to freeze tuition — the first time in 20 years — for the 2021-22 academic year.
Undergraduate tuition has increased by more than $23,000 since 2010. The incoming tuition increase is a smaller percent change than any year-to-year raise from the 2010s.
