Summary

The University of Connecticuts School of Medicine has approved a three-year plan for tuition and fees to rise, with in-state students paying nearly $59,000 annually by 2028-2029. Non-residents will see their costs increase from around $81,000 to over $87,000. The hikes are due to rising salaries, inflation, less state funding, and investments in technology and student services. Despite being one of the more expensive public medical schools, UConn maintains high educational standards. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
