The University of Mary Washington’s Board of Visitors has approved new rates for the 2016-2017 academic year.
Full-time Virginia residents living on campus will pay $21,508 per academic year, including tuition, fees, room and board. Similarly, full-time out-of-state students living on campus will pay $36,098.
Tuition and related fees for Virginia students will increase by $232 per academic year or 3 percent. Charges for room and board will increase by $244 per academic year or 2.5 percent.
“The University is dedicated to attracting a high-performing and diverse student body, and first-rate professors,” said Holly Cuellar, rector for the Board of Visitors. “This tuition rate will allow UMW to continue its commitment to excellence as a premiere liberal arts and sciences institution.”
The university, with a total enrollment of nearly 5,000 students, features colleges of business, education and arts and sciences, and three campuses, including a residential campus in Fredericksburg, a second one in nearby Stafford and a third in Dahlgren, which serves as a center of development of educational and research partnerships between the Navy, higher education institutions and the region’s employers.
