Another Local University Lowers Its Sticker Price

Recovering from a deficit and layoffs last spring, the University of the Sciences (PA) is announcing a plan Wednesday to roll back its tuition sticker price by 37 percent next year in a bid to appeal to a wider swath of applicants.  Freshmen in fall 2018 will pay tuition and fees of $25,000, down from $39,994 this year. As with other tuition resets, the university also will reduce aid it gives to students, meaning few will actually save anywhere near $15,000.
