flag Wisconsin ranks near bottom in college affordability due to declining state funding and rising tuition costs.

flag A new analysis reveals Wisconsin ranks near the bottom in college affordability, with public four-year and technical colleges facing significant affordability gaps—$3,549 and $1,336 on average—exceeding national averages. flag The study, using 2022-23 data, attributes rising costs to declining state funding, now covering just 20% of university budgets, up from half in 1985. flag Tuition now makes up about 60% of university revenue. flag While the University of Wisconsin system notes its tuition is lowest in the Upper Midwest and technical colleges emphasize workforce integration, officials acknowledge affordability remains a critical challenge requiring increased state investment and student support.
