Wisconsin cost view
Wisconsin schools in the dataset: the Madison flagship record
The Wisconsin page currently carries the flagship in Madison. The resident rate anchors most Wisconsin family budgets; the nonresident total answers a different question and should never be averaged together with it.
This page covers only the Wisconsin schools in the dataset. Confirm residency with the university before using a resident total.
| School | City | One-year total | Four years, no increase | Four years, 3% yearly increase |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| University of Wisconsin-Madison | Madison | $26,827 | $107,308 | $112,234 |
How to use this state view
Start with schools you can realistically attend, not every name in the table. Then open each school page and check the tuition basis. Public schools can change the answer when resident status changes. Private schools remove the residency line but can still vary by housing, program, and grant aid.
Use the calculator to hold housing and grant assumptions steady across schools. That is how you find out whether a difference comes from tuition or from the way you have modeled living costs.
What this page cannot tell you
It cannot tell you admission chances, grant aid, program quality, graduate earnings, or whether a school is worth the price. It gives a dated cost record so the money side of the decision starts with the same facts for every school.
