What is “Differential
Tuition?”
• “A tuition added to the base tuition level for the
purpose of supplementing services and
programming for students within an institution
beyond existing institutional activities supported
by General Purpose Revenue (GPR) and
Program Revenue (PR) funding, and other
revenue sources.”
– Board of Regents Policy 32-7.
Motivation
• Original Differential Tuition
– Undergraduate Education Reform
– “The basic idea of learning as inquiry is the same as the idea of
research; even though advanced research occurs at advanced levels,
undergraduates beginning in the freshman year can learn through
research. In the sciences and social sciences, undergraduates can
become junior members of the research teams that now engage
professors and graduate students.”
⁻ The Boyer Commission Report (1998)

“…91% of employers think that students should have
between one and two internships before graduating…”
“New graduates and students who are able to talk
about and highlight past experiences from realworld class projects or career-related volunteer
opportunities are the type of job candidates who
will rise to the top of employers’ lists.”
“…96% of employers look for college graduates who are
comfortable working with colleagues, customers, and/or
clients from diverse cultural backgrounds.
“Across many areas tested, employers strongly endorse
educational practices that involve students in active,
effortful work—practices including collaborative problemsolving, internships, senior projects, and community
engagements."
