Providing a clear, logical guide to an illogical topic, this book
provides an easy-to-understand guide for anyone who wants to
successfully navigate the labyrinth of going to college-and paying
for the experience. 100 years ago, college tuition at prestigious
Ivy League colleges such as Harvard and Brown was about $130 per
year. Even when adjusted for inflation, today's cost of higher
education has increased dramatically-to the point where a college
education is shifting further out of reach for many Americans. This
book explains the essential concepts in the debate regarding the
staggering costs of higher education, supplying ten original essays
by higher education policy experts, a lively historical narrative
that provides context to current issues, and systematic guides to
finding additional sources of information on the subject. Written
from a historian's point of view, The Rising Costs of Higher
Education: A Reference Handbook explains the economics of higher
education in a manner that encourages readers to participate in the
discussion on how to control ever-increasing tuition costs. Both
college-bound students and parents will come to appreciate how
complicated the problem of paying for college is, and grasp the
crucial differences between "cost" and "price" in the specific
economics of colleges and universities.
