The cost is going up for just about everything, and college tuition is no exception. According to a nationwide survey published by the College Board’s Scholarship Service, tuition at most American universities will be on an average of 9 percent higher this year than last.
The biggest increase will occur at private colleges. Public colleges, heavily subsidized by tax funds, will also increase their tuition, but the increase will be a few percentage points lower than their privately-sponsored neighbors.
As a follow up, the United Press International did their own study at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. At MIT advisors recommended that students have $ 9 000 available for one year’s expenses, and $250 for books and supplies. Ten years ago the tuition was $ 2 000. To put that another way, the cost has climbed 450 percent in the last decade.
An additional burden is placed on out-of-state students who must pay extra charges ranging from $ 200 to $ 2 000, and foreign students who are not eligible for scholarships at state-funded universities.
On the brighter side, the survey revealed that college graduates are entering the best job market since the middle 1960s. Job offers are up 16 percent from last year, and salaries are good, at least for graduates in technical fields. For example, a recent graduate in petroleum engineering can expect to make as much as $ 20 000 per year. A student with a liberal arts degree might expect to make about half that salary.
