SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Undergraduates from outside California and graduate students preparing for careers outside academia will pay more to attend the University of California in the fall under a revised plan approved by the 10-campus system’s governing board on Thursday. The tuition hikes endorsed by the Board of Regents included an 8 percent increase in the premium non-Californians pay to pursue bachelor’s degrees at UC schools. The number of students from other states and abroad has grown rapidly at most campuses in recent years, and the higher charges will bring their tuition and fees to nearly $37,000 in the fall.
