"Graduate school tuition doesn't tend to grab the headlines that undergraduate tuition does, if only because Ph.D. students often aren't paying their own way. But both Cornell University and the University of Pennsylvania are standardizing tuition rates across schools and colleges to keep pace with changes in interdisciplinary Ph.D. education - and, in Cornell's case, to stretch research grants further," Inside Higher Ed reports. "While Penn's plan is revenue-neutral, Cornell, in a bid to be more competitive with its public university peers in terms of pricing, is planning overall tuition reductions to decrease the amount of outside grant money diverted to graduate student support."
