How do UNCG’s tuition & fee rates compare nationally?

• For the twelfth year in a row, UNCG was ranked among

the nation’s "best value” public colleges by The Princeton Review, an honor earned by only about 15 percent of the nation’s four-year colleges.

• In addition, Forbes Magazine included UNCG in its 2010

list of America’s Best College Buys. The university was listed 37th among 100 colleges and universities in the United States.

College Board Study of Undergraduate Tuition & Fees

College Board annual study of average undergraduate costs of tuition and fees at four-year public colleges (2010-11 data):

• The in-state cost of tuition and fees at public universities averaged

$7,605 in comparison to UNCG's cost of $4,926.

• For non-residents, the cost of tuition and fees at all public universities averaged $19,595, in comparison to UNCG's non-resident cost of $16,687.

It's easy to see how The Princeton Review and Forbes concluded that UNCG offers an outstanding value.

What is tuition?

• Tuition (along with state appropriations) supports the cost of delivering instruction, academic support, and essential administrative infrastructure.
