Georgia four-year public universities now charge students annual in-state tuition and fees averaging $8,719, the 38th highest amount among the 50 states and the District of Columbia, the College Board said in a new report.

The analysis found that average tuition and fee amounts at four-year universities in five states declined over the last five years when the costs are adjusted for inflation. And in nine states, those tuition costs rose by at least 15 percent over the same time period, the College Board reported.

The average out-of-state tuition and fee amounts in 10 states are more than three times that of the in-state tuition and fee numbers, according to the analysis. But in six states, the out-of-state tuition and fees are under 200 percent of the in-state charge.
