“The University of Michigan and University of Virginia
are two of the best public universities in the country,”
U.S. News staffers wrote. “Students living in those
states can get a first-rate education at a bargain, but
undergrads crossing state lines to attend should expect
to fork over some cash.”
UVa officials said the school’s cost still is lower than
most of its private college competitors.

“Our research has shown that many of our peer
universities and primary competitors for the best
students are prestigious, private colleges and
universities that have higher costs,” said McGregor
McCance, UVa spokesman. “In comparison to these
schools, our total cost for families, even out-of-state
families, is still a bargain.”
Two other Virginia universities made the top 10. The
College of William and Mary and Virginia Military
Institute placed fourth and 10th, respectively.
William and Mary’s non-resident tuition was $36,753
and VMI’s, $33,811, according to the survey.

The magazine published the information in a “short list”
that focused on out-of-state tuition charged by colleges
across the county. The publication collects information on schools each year and analyzes them for national
rankings. It uses some of the information it gathers to create the short lists that examine different aspects of the
colleges it rates.
Other public colleges making the tuitionlist include University of California-Davis, $36,755; University of CaliforniaSanta Barbara, $36,549; University of California-Santa Cruz, $36,284; University of California-Riverside, $35,582;
University of Vermont, $35,582; and University of California-Los Angeles, $35,570.
The figures do not include room and board, books, transportation or other costs, according to the publication.
While the second-highest among public schools for out-of-state tuition, UVa’s costs are cheaper than all of the
private colleges in the rankings.
According to the publication’s figures, UVa’s out-of-state tuition costs are below the $47,246 tuition charged by the
most expensive private college, Columbia, in New York. UVa’s rate is also less than the $44,920 charged by the
10th most expensive private college, Williams College in Massachusetts.
“The University of Virginia is a public institution that prides itself on providing a world-class education for all
students who are offered and accept admission, regardless of residency, ethnicity or socio-economic status,”
McCance said.

UVa is rated as the top value in education by the Princeton Review and second by Kiplinger magazine, which also
rates colleges and universities by academic excellence and cost, McCance said.
“By offering its AccessUVa financial aid program to all students, without regard to residency, and by charging an
out-of-state tuition price that is lower than all its private peers, [UVa] is consistently recognized for its value,”
McCance said.
UVa is listed by U.S. News as the 24th best overall value for a college education, based on quality of programs
and its in-state tuition in 2012-13.
Out-of-state students often are recruited by colleges because the higher cost per student helps subsidize lower
tuitions for in-state students, educators say.
“The influx of capital from out-of-state students can be good news for local applicants, if they can secure
admission, that is,” U.S. News staffers wrote. “Public schools often rely on tuition dollars from non-resident
students, both domestic and international, to fill budget gaps and ease public pressure over in-state tuition rates.”
U.S. News reported that the University of California school system bumped international undergraduate enrollment
to roughly 13 percent last fall. The schools historically had less than 5 percent international enrollment.
University of Michigan regent Larry Dietch told reporters in June that raising out-of-state tuition at the Ann Arbor
campus helps keep in-state rates lower.
Final admissions statistics for UVa’s upcoming school year are not yet available, but according to the university’s
Institutional Assessment and Studies division, the school offered admission to 4,934 non-residents and 3,594 instate residents for 2013-14.
UVa often offers admission to more out-of-state residents because fewer non-residents actually accept and enroll,
division officials stated.

In 2012-13, the university offered admission to 4,492 out-state residents and 3,539 Virginians. School statistics
show 1,190 out-of-state residents accepted compared to 2,220 in-state. Those statistics have remained fairly
stable since the late 1970s, figures show.
“UVa has maintained its commitment to serving the commonwealth as the state’s flagship public university,”
McCance said. “For academic year 2012, approximately 69 percent of undergraduate students were Virginia
residents, a percentage that has held steady over the years.”
