State Comparisons of Resident Undergraduate Tuition and Fees. Information Brief. Volume 1, Issue 5
Florida Board of Governors, State University System
The State University System has low tuition and fees for resident undergraduates compared to public universities nationally. But just how low is tuition in Florida compared to other states? The answer varies slightly between the two commonly-cited surveys of tuition and fees, although both agree that Florida is among the least expensive states. The variations result from the different methodologies and groups of institutions included in the two surveys. Both surveys include mandatory fees as well as tuition in determining a college's "tuition and fees" charges. This information brief discusses the variations in findings from the AASCU/NASULGC (American Association of State Colleges and Universities/National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges) Survey; and the Washington Survey.
