As the US has been experiencing a significant increase in the amount of Covid 19 cases, universities there are being forced to bring about changes to their teaching programs as illustrated by this article from The Washington Post.
Princeton announced Monday it will cut tuition 10 percent in the coming school year and bring no more than half its undergraduates to the campus in New Jersey, an extraordinary acknowledgment of how the coronavirus pandemic has hobbled the operations of a school that aims to provide education through experiences inside and outside of the classroom.
Also on Monday, Harvard said it will bring about 40 percent of its undergraduates to its campus in Massachusetts, most of them freshmen. All undergrad classes in the fall will be delivered remotely, no matter where the students live, but Harvard’s tuition will remain the same: about $49,700.
Georgetown President John J. DeGioia said the university is weighing its tuition policy amid the coronavirus constraints. “We haven’t brought closure to that yet,” DeGioia said. The fall plans from the three universities are the latest in a wave of announcements as higher education leaders scramble to determine when and how they can bring students back to campuses that have been empty, or nearly so, for months.
If you are planning on attending US university this fall you should contact the university to find out what its requirements are. You are also welcome to come in to ITS for a free consultation and speak to our US consultant about your US education plans.
