Why did the Board of Regents decide to set a flat tuition rate in lieu of the fixed for four plan?
Unforeseen economic circumstances coupled with substantial budget reductions compromised the long-term viability of a fixed tuition model. Academically competitive colleges and universities must maintain an equally competitive tuition rate. Despite this change, Georgia Tech’s tuition rate remains one of the lowest when compared with its peer institutions while maintaining a top-tier national and international ranking.
