Athens State raising tuition

Jun. 2—The Athens State University Board of Trustees voted to increase tuition by 7% for both undergraduate and graduate courses beginning with the fall 2022 semester.

In-state tuition and fee rates per credit hour for the 2022-23 academic year will be as follows:

Undergraduate: $241 per credit hour

Graduate: $348 per credit hour

Technology fee: $75 per credit hour
