Ricks College Adopts New Tri-Semester

The addition of another term of summer school at Ricks College will give the school a new tri-semester program.

The new five-week term will come at the end of the winter semester and will be followed by two additional five-week terms. The three five-week terms are equivalent to a third semester. Prior to this year, students at Ricks have finished winter semester on about May 1 of each year, and have been unable to attend summer school until a month later.

The five-week spring term will operate with classes held only Monday through Thursday, covering a broad range of upper- and lower-division work. The new term offers incoming students an opportunity to get a head start on their college career and still have most of the summer to work.

Information about the new term and other academic programs may be obtained by writing:

BYU Increases Tuition for Undergraduates

Beginning with the 1974 autumn semester, tuition at Brigham Young University will increase $20 per semester for undergraduate students.

Tuition for members of the Church will now be $320 per semester. Nonmembers will now pay $480 for tuition per semester.

According to university spokesmen, this is the first increase in tuition costs in three years at the university, while expenses required to operate the school have increased sharply.

Tuition for the graduate professional programs—Master of Business Administration, Master of Public Administration, and Master of Accountancy—has not changed.
