College is one of the most expensive endeavors that a person will ever pursue. And for lower-income students, the costs alone can be even more daunting.
In this latest data download, check out the annual out-of-pocket costs ("net price") that institutions estimate their lower- and higher-income students will be responsible for covering while earning their credential.
In this report, we take a closer look at individual college programs and the time it takes graduates to recoup their educational costs after earning their credential within specific fields of study. The report provides policymakers, college administrators, researchers, and advocates with additional data on how well individual college programs serve learners from an economic perspective.
As part of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching’s efforts, the HEA Group was commissioned to provide three primers on college access, college affordability and economic outcomes. These papers were intended to inform the Carnegie Postsecondary Commission’s work to produce transformational change within the US higher education system as we know it.
Get behind the data and value of higher education as Michael Itzkowitz engages in a focused conversation with Eloy Oakley of College Futures Foundation. Together, they dissect the HEA Group’s work on the commissioned "Golden Opportunities" report, delving into the intricacies of California's higher education investments and what they mean for students from low-to-moderate-income economic backgrounds.
