Differential Tuition
Each year, students taking credits offered by the Peck School of the Arts, contribute a small amount of their credit fees towards differential tuition. Through the funding of additional course selections, upgrades to educational facilities, quality of instruction and purchasing of new equipment, this differential tuition has been extremely important in improving the educational experience of PSOA students.
In fact, differential tuition can only be used if the outcome satisfies one of three primary focus areas:
- Improve access to courses
- Improve technology support
- Improve the quality of instruction and student services
Department Surveys
Each department administers an annual survey to their students to help prioritize projects and items that could be funded through Differential Tuition. Proposals are evaluated by the Peck School of the Arts Black and Gold Committee and recommendations are made which the committee feels have the most merit.
