University of Wisconsin-Madison students looking to score high-paying jobs as engineers after college may have to start paying more for their undergraduate degrees under a proposal the Board of Regents will consider next week.
The flagship’s College of Engineering wants to charge undergraduates $700 per semester on top of base tuition to help make the college more competitive with other engineering schools and to help offset the higher cost of engineering education. The differential tuition policy is similar to a plan approved for the UW-Madison School of Business last year.
