Students should expect the cost of in-state tuition to rise by 4 to 7 percent next year or roughly $144 to $240. Students who attend NKU under the metro rate can expect the same $144 to $240 dollar hike. Students attending under the Indiana Reciprocity Agreement should expect tuition to increase about $156 to $268. The most significant cost increase will be felt by students paying non-resident tuition with an increase of $504 to $694. All tution increases are for full-time students attending NKU for 12 to 16 hours per semester.
