Tuition to rise 3.7 percent

This week, Brandeis announced a 3.7-percent tuition increase, one that has been approved by the Board of Trustees. “While we know very well that no increases are welcome, this keeps the increase substantially below the level envisioned in the strategic plan; both the Board and the administration are very sensitive to the need to control, […]
