The Board of Directors has approved a comprehensive 5.1 percent increase in tuition, room and board for 2005-06, bringing the total cost to $34,596.
Despite the increase, Wittenberg remains below the national average for tuition percentage increases among private, four-year colleges and four-year public universities.
According to Darrell Kitchen, vice president for business and finance, the increase will help the university maintain its coveted 14:1 student-faculty ratio, continue to upgrade technology, balance the needs of students and faculty, and help fullfill the university’s primary goal of educating students for a lifetime of satisfaction and success.
