NEW YORK, N.Y.--Tuition and fees at Columbia University probably will rise 11-13 per cent next year, a university spokesman said last week.
The annual cost of attending Columbia will rise from $8750 to between $9590 and $9740, Eileen Mulhall, a financial analyst for the university, said.
At Brown University, trustees last week approved an 11.9 per cent increase in annual fees, raising costs for next year to $8775.
And at Georgetown University, the administration announced a 12 per cent tuition increase to $4970. Room and board costs, and other fees, are not included in that total.
Administrators at all colleges blamed inflation and particularly rising energy costs for the increases.
