FRANKFORT, Ky. — The Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education approved tuition and mandatory fees for six public universities and the Kentucky Community and Technical College System for the 2024-25 school year. All six public universities will see increases in tuition and fees.
The approved increases are:
- Eastern Kentucky University, 1.9%
- Morehead State University, 1.9%
- Murray State University, 2%
- Western Kentucky University, 1.9%
- Kentucky Community and Technical College System, 1.6%
- University of Kentucky, 2.2%
- Northern Kentucky University, 2%
Kentucky State University tuition and fees were approved at the March council meeting, which will increase by 1.9%. CPE said its president would approve the University of Louisville’s rates because the school’s board meeting to discuss rates happened after the June council meeting.
The council previously set tuition ceilings that limit resident undergraduate tuition at public four-year institutions to increase by no more than 5% over two years or no more than 3% in any one year.
The council also approved several new academic programs in the state:
- University of Kentucky, Bachelor of Arts in law and justice
- Murray State University, Master of Science in economic analytics
- Murray State University, Master of Science in accountancy and analytics
- Murray State University, Education Specialist in school psychology
- Northern Kentucky University, Bachelor of Arts in special education

- Kentucky State University, Bachelor of Science in manufacturing engineering technology
- Kentucky State University, Bachelor of Science in cybersecurity
The full materials for the council meeting are available online. The next CPE meeting will be Sept. 16 at the Hyatt Regency Lexington.
