The Board of Governors of Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) today approved tuition rates for the 2025-26 academic year and would roll back the rate if the state provides sufficient funding as part of the current state budget negotiations. Setting tuition now with the option to revisit the decision gives clarity to students who will start the semester next month and provides flexibility to state leaders as their budget negotiations continue. After seven consecutive years of frozen tuition, PASSHE universities remain the most affordable four-year option in Pennsylvania, even with in-state undergraduate tuition for the 2025-26 academic year increasing by $139 per semester to $3,997 per semester. Full-year tuition will increase by $278 to $7,994.

Just one year into her college career at East Stroudsburg University, Luna Mumma has found her passion in chemistry research. From experience and mentorship to the thrill of discovery, Mumma hopes to be an advocate to other students about the benefits undergraduate research can bring. “I have gotten so much out of doing research,” said Mumma, a rising sophomore from Willow Grove, Pa. “I think that some students perceive it as just an extension of teaching lab, an extension of what it is to keep learning in chemistry, and it is, but it’s also getting off of the path of learning because it’s the first time for most students that we don’t know where we’re going – we could find something amazing tomorrow.”
