New entering students at St. Cloud State University this fall studied under a flat-rate tution model that allows students taking 12-18 credits to pay one flat tuition.
This pricing system allows students to take more credits without paying more tuition, increasing their ability to graduate on time. Fifteen credits a semester is the number of credits a student needs to take in order to graduate in four years.
A 10-year study shows that St. Cloud State students who take 15 credits are more likely to perform better and stay in school. Flat-rate tuition also allows students to explore areas of academic interest with fewer financial consequences.
Finishing in four years means less tuition, fewer fees, reduced housing and transportation costs and more career earnings from entering the job market earlier.
Flat-rate tuition is a pricing system used at the majority of Minnesota State universities.
