Montclair State University Raises Tuition, Fees

Montclair State University voted Thursday to hike tuition and fees by 3.9 percent for the upcoming school year, according to NorthJersey.com.

About 20 students—hoping for a tuition freeze—were on hand at a meeting of the school's trustees to protest the increase.

Tuition and fees for full-time students will rise by $411 for the 2012-13 school year to $11,058, according to the university. Room and board will climb by 3.2 percent.

However, tuition for the summer session in 2013 will actually go down by 13.5 percent from $407 to $352 per credit.
