In the latest reported year, out-of-state tuition actually decreased — institutions occasionally restate prior figures, so don’t assume the drop will continue.
Most schools raise tuition gradually each year, so plan for the cost in later years to exceed today’s posted rate.
When planning, assume the rate will rise each year so rising costs don’t blow up your plan.
The per-credit-hour price is only the beginning of the cost story — financial aid can change the actual price a part-time student pays substantially.
