Wayland keeps tuition rate steady

PLAINVIEW–Wayland Baptist University trustees have frozen tuition rates at the Plainview campus through spring 2004.

They retained the tuition rate of $270 per semester hour for undergraduate courses and $275 per hour for graduate courses.

The decision to forego an increase was based on consideration of the region's economy, said President Paul Armes. “We live in an area that has faced more than its share of economic struggles in recent years, and our recommendation reflected consideration of that.”
