Tuition and Fees
State law directs the Higher Education Coordinating Board to recommend state tuition and fee policies to the Governor and Legislature. As part of our analysis, we conduct an annual survey of tuition and fee rates at public colleges and universities in all 50 states to determine how Washington tuition and fees compare both nationally and with other Western states. In addition, we examine how tuition and fees at individual Washington institutions contrast with tuition and fees at comparable or "peer" institutions nationwide.
