April 25, 2019\u2014The Board of Governors at Missouri Western State University has approved tuition, room and board rates for the 2019-2020 school year.<\/p>\n

For undergraduate, in-state students, tuition will rise 5.5 percent, or about $12.70 per credit hour, while all other required fees remain flat. A student taking 15 credit hours per semester will pay $191 more per semester in tuition and fees. The 5.5 percent increase is below the 6.17 percent allowed by state law.<\/p>\n

All other rates, including online tuition, graduate tuition, out-of-state undergraduate tuition and tuition at locations other than the St. Joseph campus, will rise 5 percent.<\/p>\n

Room rates will increase 2 to 3 percent, or $47 to $105 per semester, depending on the residence hall. The board rates will increase about 3 percent, or from $61 to $63, depending on the meal plan chosen.<\/p>\n

For an in-state undergraduate student taking 15 credit hours and living in Scanlon Hall with an unlimited meal plan, total costs will increase $301 per semester.<\/p>\n
