How much is the difference between the base tuition and differential tuition?
A. The total investment represents only three weeks’ starting salary for the average engineering graduate. Differential tuition will be phased in over a three-to-five year period. Junior- and senior-level students will pay an additional $250 per semester beginning Summer 2006. Every year thereafter, differential tuition will increase by $250 per semester until reaching $1750/year. When fully implemented, differential tuition will yield about $4.3 million a year for the College of Engineering to improve the quality of undergraduate instruction.
