"The level of support we receive from state lawmakers has a direct impact on tuition, and this year's boost in state funding for higher education means Colorado's only land-grant university will be able hold next year's tuition increase to very modest levels," Chancellor Mike Martin said. "This will enhance the value proposition of CSU in Fort Collins, where the tuition remains well below that of peer research universities both in Colorado and across the nation. We will continue, however, to look for ways to reduce costs and improve efficiency across all three CSU System campuses to ensure that our institutions offer both high quality and remarkable value." Resident undergraduate tuition at CSU in Fort Collins will be $7,868 in FY2015, a $374 increase over the previous year. That is below proposed in-state tuition rates at peer institutions such as Michigan State, University of California-Davis, Purdue, Washington State, Virginia Tech and the University of Illinois. For a Colorado comparison, resident undergraduate tuition for arts and sciences students at CU-Boulder for FY2015 will be $9,048. The per-credit-hour undergraduate tuition rate at CSU-Global Campus, which receives no state funding, will continue to be $449.
