The sticker price of college tuition only continues to increase. In March 2024, NBC 10 Boston reported that two Massachusetts colleges, Wellesley and Boston University, now have annual student costs exceeding the $90,000 barrier.
While both of these institutions may be private, the cost of college tuition is noticeably increasing across the U.S. for both public and private universities alike. To determine how much more the cost of college tuition has risen, GOBankingRates found each state’s average college tuition costs for each school year starting with 2013-2014 through 2021-2022.
We then used the National Center for Education Statistics’ Digest of Education Statistics to source school costs for the previous eight years starting in 2022 and calculated the changes in dollars and percentages.
