The College of Charleston Board of Trustees voted on June 13, 2022, to hold constant for the third year in a row the total cost of attendance for South Carolina students. The board also voted to increase tuition for out-of-state students by 4% for the 2022โ€“2023 academic year.ย 

Although the Collegeโ€™s operating costs continue to rise, the S.C. Legislature again this year allotted tuition mitigation funds in order to freeze tuition for South Carolina residents.ย 

Beginning fall semester 2022, full-time undergraduate students from South Carolina will pay $6,259 per semester. Out-of-state, full-time undergraduate students will pay $17,669 per semester. Students from South Carolina in the Graduate School (The University of Charleston, S.C.) will pay $6,885 per semester, and out-of-state graduate students will pay $19,436 per semester.ย 

โ€œThe College of Charleston is doing everything it can to do to keep costs affordable for families, while at the same time delivering a world-class education,โ€ says Board of Trustees Chair David Hay โ€™81. โ€œI am pleased that we were able to hold tuition steady for South Carolina students and to only modestly increase costs for our non-resident students.โ€ย 

College of Charleston President Andrew T. Hsu adds, โ€œAffordability and accessibility have been the hallmarks of a College of Charleston education for many decades, and the approval of the 2022โ€“2023 budget will allow for strategic investments in several key initiatives, as outlined in our 10-year strategic plan, around the areas of student success, academic distinction and employee success.โ€ย
