U. of S. Ind. joins lower summer tuition bandwagon

EVANSVILLE, Ind. — Another state-supported Indiana university is jumping on the lower summer tuition bandwagon.

The University of Southern Indiana said Wednesday that administrators will ask its Board of Trustees in a special session Friday to reduce the price per credit hour of summer session courses for in-state undergraduate students by approximately 20 percent beginning next year.

The move would reduce the current $193 per credit hour for Indiana undergraduates to $154 per credit hour next summer. An undergraduate taking a full load of 12 credit hours would save $463 next summer.

Indiana University last month said it will reduce tuition for in-state students enrolled at any of IU’s seven campuses by 25 percent, and nonresident students will receive an equivalent-dollar reduction in their tuition as well. The discounts take effect next summer.
