Schools looking to keep up with inflation and other rising costs are looking toward student tuition to help fill budget gaps. It’s tuition-setting season for Oregon’s colleges and universities and the cost of getting a higher education in the state is going up. Oregon’s largest public postsecondary schools, including Oregon State University, Portland State University and the University of Oregon are all raising tuition for the 2024-2025 school year. The Board of Trustees for OSU voted Friday to raise tuition costs for resident undergraduate students at its Corvallis campus by 4.91%. Undergrads at the OSU-Cascades campus in Bend will see a similar increase of 4.7%. These hikes equal out to a $11 to $12 increase per credit hour.
