These are the US colleges where tuition has skyrocketed

We’ve written extensively how college costs, both public and private, have risen dramatically over the past two decades and continue to rise each year.

While nearly every college has raised tuition, some have increased much more than others. The charts below from Quartz rank public and private colleges by the largest tuition increases in 2014 US dollars, after adjusting for inflation.

Which public colleges have increased tuition the most?

The chart below shows the four-year public universities where in-state tuition has risen the most since 1998.

Several top state schools make the list, including the College of William and Mary, Clemson University, and the University of Pittsburgh.

At the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne, another top public college, the real price of tuition has more than doubled from $6,212 to $15,020 (in 2014 dollars) in less than two decades.

Where out-of-state tuition has risen

While some public colleges provide great deals even for out-of-state students, others have risen tuition dramatically. The chart below shows which state schools have increased their out-of-state tuition the most.

Several well-known public colleges popular with out-of-state students made the list, including the University of Texas, University of North Carolina, and University of Virginia.

Large tuition increases at private colleges

While costs at public colleges have risen quite a bit, the increases at private colleges have been even greater.

The chart below shows the highest tuition increases among private colleges.

According to Quartz, Cooper Union, the top of the list, offered every student at the school a full-tuition scholarship until 2013. They now give every student a half-scholarship or more—so while the listed cost of tuition has increased greatly, no student actually pays more than 50% of the official cost.

Of course, the same can be said for many colleges on these lists–not every student pays the full amount because financial aid packages often cover part of the cost. Still, though, at most colleges, a significant portion of the student body still pays full price.
