MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — The Universities of Wisconsin System is proposing a tuition increase for the 2025-26 academic year.
Under the proposal, tuition for resident undergraduates would increase by 4% at all universities, with an optional 1% additional for a maximum of 5%. Every university, except for UW – Green Bay, plans to adopt the additional 1% if the proposal is approved by the Board of Regents at its Thursday meeting.
UW System President Jay Rothman says after a decade of tuition freeze and lagging state aid, the UW System believes it’s struck a balance for students and families. The UW System is getting a $256 million funding increase under the recently signed state budget.
