In-state undergraduate students at the Universities of Wisconsin would pay hundreds more in tuition in the 2025-26 academic year under a proposal President Jay Rothman announced Tuesday.
The plan to raise tuition by up to 5% for in-state undergraduate students would be the third consecutive increase since 2023 after the end of a 10-year freeze.
Tuition would increase by 4% in the UW system under the proposal, plus an optional 1% that all universities except UW-Green Bay plan to adopt.
At UW-Madison, tuition and fees for 2025-26 would be $12,166.
