BYU will raise tuition by 3.9 percent in 2000-2001. The undergraduate rate will increase $55 to $1,470 per semester. Graduate students will pay $1,730 per semester, and Law School and Graduate School of Management students will pay $2,770 Undergraduate tuition for spring and summer terms will increase from $625 to $735. Spring and summer rates for graduate students willl be $865, an increase of $35.
In 1994-95 the university significantly cut undergraduate spring and summer tuition rates in an effort to increase enrollment. However, administrators have found that scholarships are more effective in encouraging students to attend during the summer. Hence, over the last three years, tuition rates for spring and summer have increased at a higher percentage in order to bring the term rate back to 50 percent of the semester rate.
As in the past, students who are not members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will pay one-and-a-half times the listed rates.
