Washington Student Achievement Council

Summary The amount institutions charge students for tuition and fees is a critical factor affecting access to higher education. In recent years, tuition across the United States has become more and more expensive as institutions have increased tuition rates to offset reductions in public support for higher education programs.

Washington has mitigated the impact of rising tuition costs by increasing financial aid to students least able to pay. However, the growing number of eligible low-income students has outpaced available resources, leaving many without support.

Rising tuition costs also have shifted the barrier of higher education affordability to many students outside traditional low-income categories. “The rising cost of tuition, particularly at public universities and colleges, is exceeding the resources of many middle-class families,” the Washington Student Achievement Council noted in its first strategic action plan, titled “Critical Crossroads: A Call for Action.”

Understanding these national trends and how each state’s tuition levels compare with other states are important for government and education leaders as they search for ways to expand college access and improve the overall quality of their education systems.

This report, commissioned by Washington’s Legislature and Governor, provides accurate and timely tuition and fee data for public flagship institutions, comprehensive institutions and community colleges in the 50 states. This survey is intended not only for Washington state policy-makers and institutional leaders, but also for those in other states who are preparing tuition and fee analyses. The data show that since the 2010-11 academic year, tuition and required fees at Washington’s public institutions have exceeded the national average in all categories. Washington ranks in the top 15 for highest tuition and required fees in all categories except for nonresident undergraduate tuition at community and technical colleges—where Washington ranks 19th. Washington’s tuition and required fees generally are comparable to the averages of the Global Challenge States (GCS), a comparison group frequently referenced by the Washington State Legislature. The recent increases in tuition and required fees have had the greatest impact on resident undergraduates in all sectors. Washington’s tuition and required fees have historically been lower than the national average, placing Washington between 25th and 30th nationally. In 2010-11, resident undergraduate tuition and required fees at Washington’s public universities shifted from being lower than the national average to among the highest in the nation.

The data in this report will provide the Washington Student Achievement Council with important comparative background information as the Council develops its 10-Year Roadmap for raising the state’s educational achievement level. During this process, the Council will examine policy issues concerning college affordability and higher education funding, both of which are directly tied to tuition.

Washington Student Achievement Council 1

Introduction This report fulfills requirements of legislation passed in 2011, requiring the Washington Student Achievement Council to provide an annual comparison of tuition and required fees at public institutions in the 50 states (RCW 28B.77.100).1 The report includes tuition and required fee comparisons for flagship institutions, comprehensive institutions, and community colleges. This is the forty-second such report prepared in Washington. Previous annual reports published by predecessor agencies to the Washington Student Achievement Council are available online at www.wsac.wa.gov/PublicationsLibrary/PolicyAndResearch/Tuition. Tuition and required fee amounts are provided for academic years between 2008-09 and 2012-13. Data for 2008-09 and 2009-10 were collected by the Washington Higher Education Coordinating Board via a survey of state agencies or individual institutions. Tuition and required fee rates for subsequent years were collected by the Connecticut Office of Higher Education, which partnered with the Washington Student Achievement Council who analyzed the data and prepared the current report. Connecticut utilized an online tool nearly identical to the survey tool previously used in Washington, with one exception. This year’s survey did not include a request for tuition and required fees for medical, dental, law, or veterinary schools and programs. Agency staff in Connecticut and Washington will assess the need to reinstate these components next year. This year’s survey respondents were asked to provide tuition and required fee rates for the 2010-11, 2011-12, and 2012-13 academic years, in addition to reviewing and updating the 2009-10 rates. Data are collected for residents and nonresidents at the undergraduate and graduate level. Appendix A of this report includes six bar charts showing resident undergraduate tuition and required fees for each state, and providing comparisons to the national and GCS averages. Bar charts showing percentage changes in tuition and required fees between 2011-12 and 2012-13 are also provided. Appendix B provides the national data tables used to create the bar charts in Appendix A. Appendix C provides additional notes on the Appendix B data, and Appendix D provides a list of the institutions included in this analysis.

How Washington Compares

Tuition and required fees at Washington’s public institutions for the 2012-13 academic year exceed the national average in all categories (see Tables 1-4 below). Washington ranks in the top 15 for highest tuition and required fees in all categories—except for nonresident undergraduate tuition at community and technical colleges where Washington ranks 19th.

Relative to the seven Global Challenge States, Washington is generally comparable with a few exceptions. Washington’s public institution tuition and required fees are higher for resident undergraduates at the flagship institution, nonresident graduate students at comprehensive institutions, and resident undergraduates at community and technical colleges. Only the tuition and required fees for nonresident undergraduate students at the flagship institution and resident graduate students at comprehensive institutions was lower compared to the GCS average.

Tuition and required fees in Washington increased faster than the national average and faster than the GCS average (see National Tables in Appendix B).

Tuition and required fees increased most dramatically for resident undergraduates at Washington’s flagship institution, University of Washington, where tuition and required fees increased 82 percent between 2008-09 and 2012-13.

Tuition and required fees increased by 70 percent and 47 percent for resident undergraduates at comprehensive institutions and community colleges respectively during the same time frame.

Conclusion In preparing its 10-year Roadmap for increasing educational attainment, the Washington Student Achievement Council will be examining college affordability and higher education funding.

As shown in this national comparison summary, Washington’s tuition and required fees for resident undergraduate students have shifted from being consistently well below the national average to being among the highest in the nation. The assumptions or goals about the rate of tuition increase in the future will be of critical importance in developing the Roadmap.

Appendix A. Resident Undergraduate Tuition and Required Fees by State

Charts 1–6 present data on the 2012-13 resident undergraduate tuition and required fees, and percentage changes from 2011-12 to 2012-13. States are listed in decreasing order of magnitude. These data also are available in National Tables 1, 5, and 9 of Appendix B.

Charts 1 and 2 represent tuition and required fee rates for full-time undergraduate and graduate students at the flagship institution in each state.

Charts 3 and 4 represent the average tuition and fees of the comprehensive colleges and universities in each state.

Charts 5 and 6 represent the average tuition and fees of all community colleges as reported by each state’s system office.

Tuition and fee data are not collected for individual community colleges, with one exception. For Michigan, the average community college tuition and fee rate was calculated using data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) maintained by the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center on Education Statistics. As a result, tuition and fee information for 2012-13 was not available from IPEDS at the time of publication.

Some states have more than one public research institution. The tuition and required fees at the non-flagship institutions are not included in any of the charts below.

Appendix B. National Comparisons of Tuition and Required Fees By State,

2008-09 through 2012-13

National Tables 1-10 provide tuition and required fee rates for institutions in the 50 states between 2008-09 and 2012-13. The tables also show percentage changes in tuition and required fees over the last five academic years. States are listed in alphabetical order. Each table also includes national averages for each year, Washington’s national rank, and averages for the seven Global Challenge States (GCS). The Global Challenge States have been identified as having a high potential to succeed in today’s knowledge-driven, global economy. This comparison group is frequently used by the Washington State Legislature. The Global Challenge States include California, Colorado, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Virginia.

National Tables 1-4 display tuition and required fee rates for full-time undergraduate and graduate students at the flagship institution in each state.

National Tables 5-8 represent the average tuition and fees of the comprehensive colleges and universities in each state.

National Tables 9-10 represent the average tuition and fees of all community colleges as reported by each state’s system office.

Tuition and fee data are not collected for individual community colleges, with one exception. For Michigan, the average community college tuition and fee rate was calculated using data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) maintained by the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center on Education Statistics. As a result, tuition and fee information for 2012-13 was not available from IPEDS at the time of publication.

Some states have more than one public research institution. The tuition and required fees at the non-flagship institutions are not included in any of the above tables.
