The Eagle newspaper reports that school President R. Bowen Loftin points to lower state funding and higher student enrollment as reasons for an increase.
If the A&M System Board of Regents approves the 3.95 percent hike, tuition for in-state students would rise by $176 to $4,643 per semester. Out-of-state tuition would go up $817 to $24,626.
The school did not increase tuition rates last year.
The board of regents is scheduled to decide on tuition in May.
