Is a College Education Still Worth the Price? A Dean’s Sobering Perspective

Given the current economic climate, obtaining a college degree–or beyond, some would argue–is a requirement for finding quality work. But the value of that education, in terms of both dollars and intellectual importance, has never been more in question.

In this original title published by Now and Then Reader, a former university dean considers the costs and benefits of American higher education, and finds that prospective students face an array of problems that make the value of a college education highly problematic.

Writing with an insider’s knowledge and experience, University of Missouri Professor of English Richard B. Schwartz describes the hidden costs behind exploding tuition costs that are creating a two-tiered society and saddling many graduates with staggering debt after graduation. Meanwhile the curricula at so many universities have become so watered down, and grade inflation so rampant, that students who want a solid education will have to be aggressive in seeking it out.

Richard B. Schwartz is Professor of English at the University of Missouri, Columbia. The author or editor of eighteen books, including Samuel Johnson and the New Science and Daily Life in Johnson’s London, he is now at work on a study of American higher education. Mr. Schwartz was educated at the University of Notre Dame and the University of Illinois, and has taught at the United States Military Academy; the University of Wisconsin, Madison; Georgetown University; and the University of Missouri, Columbia. Over the course of twenty-nine years he served as an associate dean, dean, and twice as interim provost at Wisconsin, Georgetown, and Missouri.

“Is a College Education Still Worth the Price?” is an original title released by Now and Then Reader, Digital Publishers of Serious Nonfiction. Focusing on writings that are historically based but still have relevance for today, Now and Then publishes original works each week, excerpts from forthcoming books, and reprints of material that otherwise is not readily available for e-readers.

Tuition Rising: Why College Costs So Much, With a new preface

America’s colleges and universities are the best in the world. They are also the most expensive. Tuition has risen faster than the rate of inflation for the past thirty years. There is no indication that this trend will abate.

Ronald G. Ehrenberg explores the causes of this tuition inflation, drawing on his many years as a teacher and researcher of the economics of higher education and as a senior administrator at Cornell University. Using incidents and examples from his own experience, he discusses a wide range of topics including endowment policies, admissions and financial aid policies, the funding of research, tenure and the end of mandatory retirement, information technology, libraries and distance learning, student housing, and intercollegiate athletics.

He shows that colleges and universities, having multiple, relatively independent constituencies, suffer from ineffective central control of their costs. And in a fascinating analysis of their response to the ratings published by magazines such as U.S. News & World Report, he shows how they engage in a dysfunctional competition for students.

In the short run, colleges and universities have little need to worry about rising tuitions, since the number of qualified students applying for entrance is rising even faster. But in the long run, it is not at all clear that the increases can be sustained. Ehrenberg concludes by proposing a set of policies to slow the institutions’ rising tuitions without damaging their quality.

Are tuition for colleges payed in full at one time or is it payed in parts?

Question by fabs: Are tuition for colleges payed in full at one time or is it payed in parts?
I will attend college next year. Are tuition for colleges payed in full at one time or is it payed in parts? This might be a stupid question sorry. If I don’t get any financial aid or loans can students cut a deal with the school to pay dues in parts? Or do they want the year tuition at once? Do most schools ask for payment before the school year or after?
