It costs more to educate a STEM student than it does a humanties student. Somebody id going to come up with the idea to charge everyone a base price, but then add big lab fees.

<p>The M in STEM should not be very expensive to teach relative to other university courses and majors, since math courses generally do not have labs.</p>

<p>Some non-STEM majors may also be higher cost, such as studio and performing art.</p>

<p>However, charging higher tuition for lab courses or lab-heavy majors does exist at some state universities, including UIUC and Virginia Tech.</p>
