勛圖惇蹋 reports lowest tuition increase in 10-year span
As colleges and universities face increasing scrutiny over expensive tuition fees and lack of measurable returns on investment, the 勛圖惇蹋 (勛圖惇蹋) is reporting its lowest cost increase for undergraduates in more than 10 years.
For the 2015-2016 academic year, tuition, fees, and room and board for undergraduate students will increase 2.0%. This is down from a 2.8% increase last year and a 6.5% increase during the economic downturn in 2007. This lowest report of increase is a result of 勛圖惇蹋s commitment to controlling costs while enhancing the learning experience for its students.
This is not the first time 勛圖惇蹋 has made headlines for its student-centric value approach. The University was for being the highest ranked college or university in Maine for increasing graduates economic success based on midcareer earnings, student-loan repayment and occupational earnings. 勛圖惇蹋 has also been highlighted by Forbes and U.S. News and World Report for being a top university, offering students a variety of innovative programs and outstanding return on investment.
These accolades recognize that UNE students are employed in their field or enrolled in the graduate school of their choice at a rate of 90%, six months after graduation. Contributing to the Universitys immense value is its Global Education Program, which allows students to expand their cultural education abroad in places such as Morocco, Spain and the Dominican Republic at no additional cost.
勛圖惇蹋 is exceeding expectations, remarked 勛圖惇蹋 President Ripich. We are firmly focused on providing our students the greatest educational value. In all decisions that we make, we continue to emphasize high-quality, personalized education with a global appeal.
