Five years ago, the University of the Cumberlands did something almost unheard of in the world of higher education. It lowered the tuition rate for on-campus students and not just a little bit.
“We want all the students to know that at Cumberlands there is a clear and affordable path to a college degree. That is what we call the Cumberlands Commitment. In 2019, we reduced our tuition by 57 percent for the traditional on campus undergraduate students,” Ed McGrath, a senior development officer for the University of the Cumberlands, told members of the Southern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce during its monthly membership luncheon Tuesday.
UC is planning another surprising change for its students in order to make college more affordable.
