Over the past decade, tuition revenues have become more important to universities, increasing the total revenues from 21.5% to 28.8%.

While the university revenues jumped to 12.8%, nearing $46.3 billion, at the same time, expenses fell 3.8%, to $39bilion.

For international tuition, students are required to pay three times more than domestic students.

Tuition costs do however vary from program to program, as well as from university to university.
