Projected Tuition Costs
The chart below gives estimated projected tuition costs
based on a compounded 7.1% increase in tuition per year,
using the current weighted-average tuition for Alabama
public four-year colleges and universities. For projection
purposes, it is assumed that a student will begin college
upon completion of the 12th grade and take 30 semester hours
each year for four years and 15 semester hours the fifth
year, for a total of 135 semester hours.
