Hello, I'm curious if anyone is seeing any price breaks in tuition yet due to the current economic yo-yo. My daughter got a e-mail from e-Cornell with an incentive. Has anyone else seen anything?Have a great evening. Keep cool. Hille
Not really a price break, but American College still has the best bargain in town. The Ph.D. remains at the unbelievably low price of $199. Not even Wal-Mart can beat this price!!!!!!!
Re: Re: Price breaks in tuition - anywhere? Why pay $199 when they are available for free? For free Ph.Ds., visite the following sites: http://www.rpu.com/rpu_diploma_phd.htm http://www.lochness.co.uk/diploma.html
Re: Re: Re: Price breaks in tuition - anywhere? No way, Ike. Man these places are degree mills. I would prefer to pay a little money for something more substantive.
What was the incentive? Personally, I haven't seen anything other than increases. The University of Illinois Board of Trustees just voted to increase tuition for the upcoming school year a couple of weeks ago and sometime within the last several weeks I noticed GGU increased tuition. With respect to Cornell, I believe there was a press release earlier in the year concerning something like a 9 or 10% increase in tuition for the 2002-2003 school year. When the economy pukes, state funding, endowments and other charitable giving tend to dry up which forces institutions to either cut costs or increase tuition (or both).
Quite the contrary. The whole of the UT state higher ed system is raising tuition drastically. They state that too many students are enrolling. They have also changed the rules for gaining residency, lengthening the period needed. Of course, both of the state's flagship institutions, USU and Utah, are still extremely reasonably priced. Maybe nobody wants to work in this economy? Tony
University of California just announced that tuition for non-residents (of California) will incease by about 16% for undergraduates and 4% for graduates. Fees for California residants ("who don't pay tuition") will remain unchanged.
Capitol College is raising tuition for online graduate students from $333 to $354 per semester hour. That means an extra $630 for a 30 credit MS.
don't know of any fire sales I don't know of any going out of business sales. But if you are native american, Dartmouth college in NH is supposed to give you free tuition. All the best!
Hille is seeking information on price breaks in tuition and you guys are feeding her information on price surge in tuition. So far, Russel and I are the only ones that have provided the needed info.
That's certainly true! I guess the only way to protect yourself from segments of the economy which always seem to increase prices faster than the rate of inflation (e.g. education, healthcare) is to refuse to do business with them. Help control rampant inflation! Refrain from using medical services, refuse to enroll at legitimate educational institutions, and patronize the mills!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I spoke with one institution just before New Years, that offered me a free course and 10% discount if I paid the balance up front. It was a nationally accredited institution. I found this interesting.
