The cost of college is going up for thousands of Pennsylvania students for the 2026-2027 school year.<\/p>\n
The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education has approved its first tuition increase in years, raising in-state undergraduate tuition by $172 a semester.<\/p>\n
The new tuition rate will be $4,169 per semester, or $8,338 for a full academic year.<\/p>\n
The system includes universities like West Chester and Kutztown.<\/p>\n
