COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) - It will cost more to attend the four campuses of the University of Missouri system next year.

The university’s Board of Curators voted Tuesday to increase in-state tuition to the maximum amount allowed by a state cap.

In-state tuition will increase by 2.1 percent this fall at all four campuses.



Out-of-state tuition varies, rising 2.1 percent at the Columbia campus, 3 percent at the Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla and 5 percent at both the St. Louis and Kansas City campuses.

The curators increased the cost for graduate and professional programs and fees.

The Columbia Daily Tribune reports (https://bit.ly/2qP48aZ ) at their September meeting, curators will discuss a plan for differential tuition, which sets rates based on the cost of a program and the job market graduates.
