Nonresident graduate tuition in UW-Milwaukee's business school would increase $539.

Nonresident graduate tuition at UW-Stout would increase $296. Nonresident graduate students who pay Minnesota tuition rates under Wisconsin's reciprocity agreement would pay $157 more. Nonresident grad students under the Midwest Student Exchange Program, in which schools agree to charge students no more than 150 percent of in-state rates, would pay $166 more.
