For the first time in four years Mitchell Technical College is bumping its tuition. Chief Financial Officer Jared Hofer outlined the increases for the Mitchell School Board.
“Overall, that’s a ten-dollar increase in fees to our students, or ten-dollars per credit hour,” Hofer said. “So, our average cost will be going from $240 to about $250 a credit hour.”
South Dakota technical colleges are getting a 1.25 percent increase in funding which the legislature agreed to earlier this year.
Hofer says for the third year in a row, MTC will get some one-time money for new equipment.
The average MTC student takes approximately 36 credits a year.
Costs to attend Mitchell Technical College are considerably lower than the state’s Regental schools.
