Public University
A university funded primarily by government (state or national) and typically charging lower tuition for in-state/domestic students.
Public universities are funded primarily by government appropriations (state or national) and typically charge significantly lower tuition for in-state or domestic students compared to private institutions. Examples include the University of California system, University of Michigan, Seoul National University, and the University of Tokyo. Public universities often serve as the backbone of a country's higher education system, enrolling the majority of students. While government funding has declined in many countries over the past decades, public universities continue to provide more affordable access to higher education for the broadest population.
