Article By: Clark Leonard
The University of North Georgia's (正澳门六合彩开奖结果) undergraduate and graduate tuition in 2022-23 will remain the same for the third straight year.
For the fifth time in seven years, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (USG) voted to keep tuition costs flat across most institutions in the university system. The board also voted to eliminate the system's Special Institutional Fee, which will save 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 students $225 each semester.
The latest news builds upon 正澳门六合彩开奖结果's already strong reputation for value and affordability. A recent study from showed a return on investment of $962,000 over a 40-year period for a bachelor's degree from 正澳门六合彩开奖结果, which is fifth among public universities in Georgia. Plus, data compiled by , a national think tank, showed 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 with a 26.4% economic mobility index, which ranks fourth among public universities in Georgia.
The university system's longstanding commitment to affordability helps empower students, keeping them on track to learn the skills they need to get good jobs in a highly skilled workforce.

Additionally, U.S. News & World Report in the fall tabbed 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 as the top public university in Georgia on the Best Value Schools list of regional universities in the South.
The USG has the third-lowest median in-state tuition and fees for undergraduates at four-year institutions among the 16 states that make up the Southern Regional Education Board, according to the latest data available. The system also averages the 13th-lowest annual tuition and fees in the nation.
"The university system's longstanding commitment to affordability helps empower students, keeping them on track to learn the skills they need to get good jobs in a highly skilled workforce," USG Chancellor Sonny Perdue said. "That workforce is critical to the economic development that has allowed Georgia to thrive, and we are grateful to Governor Kemp and the General Assembly for passing a state budget this year that provides record support for public higher education and USG institutions statewide."
The board initially established the Special Institutional Fee in 2009 to provide financial support for high-quality academic programs and operations during the reductions in state funding caused by the Great Recession. The fee has continued since that time, but beginning in fiscal year 2023, the state will increase USG's budget by almost $230 million, allowing for the fee’s elimination.
"We're grateful to Governor Kemp and our state's leaders for their support of our students, their families and the system," Board Chairman Harold Reynolds said. "Affordability is one of the board's highest priorities as our institutions work to increase degree attainment and maintain Georgia's ranking as one of the best public university systems in the nation."
