Computer Science Tuition Could Rise Faster than Other Degrees Under New WA Rules

With a hot market for their skills and employers who offer top-notch salaries and benefits, should computer science students pay more for their bachelor鈥檚 degree than theater or history majors? In Washington state, the answer could soon be yes.

Historically, undergraduates in this state have paid flat tuition rates based on the number of credits they鈥檙e earning. For example, a Washington resident taking a full-time load of classes would pay $8,122 in tuition this year at the University of Washington, no matter which bachelor鈥檚 degree they鈥檙e pursuing.
