Tuition and fees are the price you pay for your college class. This amount may change based on your academic program, the number of credit hours you take, and whether you are an in-state or out-of-state student. Tuition is charged at different rates from one type of institution to another. In view of the higher cost of schooling, students give almost equal weight to the price and academics when making their college selection.
