College tuition: 1k to 75k per semester

In the wake of a student suicide, the cost of tuition has been in the news. GMA News Online produced this graphic to show the wide range of tuition at private and state universities. 

 

Courses at private universities start at P30,000 per semester, while in state universities tuition can be as low as P1,000 a semester. The rates below are averages, because tuition often varies per course and number of units taken, with some examples of the cost of some courses displayed in the graphic. Tuition for science courses may be slightly higher than other courses because of their lab fees. — Research by Nikki Marzoña/Infographic by Analyn Perez/HS, GMA News
