Becker College: Tuition and Fees Frozen for 2009-2010
Fri, Apr 17, 2009
The Becker College Board of Trustees approved azero percent increase in tuition and fees for traditional and accelerated programs, and azero percent increase in room and board, for the 2009-2010 academic year.
Increased enrollment has meant a stronger balance sheet, said Interim President Joseph W. Bascuas, Ph.D. This was a difficult decision, but it is clearly the right decision. I am confident in the colleges ability to continue to deliver quality, and we will also move forward with planned improvements and new programs.
Keenly aware of todays severe economic conditions, trustees discussed options at length, and after careful consideration, approved the freeze.
Many students of modest means come to Becker College to prepare for a career; not affluent or entitled, they extend themselves financially to make an investment in their future said board president John Prosser. As a college of limited means, we identify with our students and their families and must put them first; in this economy, we cannot expect students, who already work long hours to finance their education, to face working extra time to cover increased tuition and fees.
