With the rise of students wanting to further their education comes the rise of schools increasing their tuition rates and fees. How does this affect many that have a hard time with keeping employment and or anyone for that matter? The question remains will tuition increasing effect the number of student attending universities like NSU?
Beginning in the 1970’s is when the increase of tuition fees began to climb that where more that the inflation rates. With these fees being too much for most to afford the start of college loans started. “Tuition and fees at private nonprofit colleges climbed 3.7 percent on average to $31,231 in 2014, according to a report today by the College Board. For in-state residents at four-year public schools, costs rose

Will they be able to increase the revenue for the school by increasing the tuition fees? The rise in tuition has been driven by a number of factors, including a pervasive trend in the use of cost offsetting in public higher education (Johnstone, 2004), and real and even nominal declines in appropriations due to state revenue shortfalls (Koshal & Koshal, 2000; Rizzo & Ehrenberg, 2003). Looking on the surface of things I think Nobody State University will have to decrease the number of students that they accept to the university to make more profit for the institution. Also if the end goal was to keep the percentage of students that attended they would need parents of students that where finically wealthy enough who could afford the increased year fees to end up with more revenue. Another way to keep the students and increasing revenue would be have students and parents get money donated to NSU through private organizations, this may be hard but it could still …show more content…
This relationship between the decline in student attendance and higher fees will cause a drop in the revenue that the university would like to see. This is known as elastic because when the demand of tuition for university went up less students want to attend.
Conditions under which revenue will stay the same
Conditions will stay the same with Nobody State University revenue because there has not been any actions to charge additional tuition fees or take any drastic measures lower fees to persuade new students to enroll. “When the quantity demanded changes by the same percentage as the price change this in known as unit elastity” (Amacher & Pete, 2013 sec.4.3).
The process of revenue focusing on the relationship between the increased revenue from students enrolling despite the higher tuition
Nobody State University could raise prices and not worry about the enrollment of students declining if this school was still competitive against other established school. If NSU tuition was extremely lower, then the increased prices brought up to compete with other colleges. Students would still choose to attend because prices where about the same even though they were higher than before. Another reason students will still choose to attend considering the increased tuition is that is the only instution that far exceeds the caliber of education
As McArdle points out, the cost for a college education has gone up over the years, leaving students in debt. I agree with this statement, because a college education was more affordable years ago and now it has doubled it’s cost. According to the article, McArdle states “The average price of all goods and services has risen about 50 percent. But the price of a college
These days, colleges are seemingly endless money pits. Did you know that in 1970 at a public university, tuition on average was only $2,710? Today, we could only dream of it being so low. Once you start looking at the actual average prices of attending a college or a university, you start to think it’s a joke with how expensive it is. It’s definitely no joke. The annual cost for undergraduate tuition, room and board is estimated to be $12,804 at public institutions and $32,184 at private institutions for the 2010 academic year, according to the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics. That means that even a modest education—a bachelor’s degree from a public university or college—will cost at least $50,000. You can find cheaper colleges for example if you attended a community college, but many of those you cannot get more than a two year degree with. There are also colleges with pr...
Tuition is the cost to take classes at a college or university and is the most expensive part of a college education as it makes up 60 % of the overall price tag (Bashkar and Gopalan). Tuition has become increasingly more expensive over the years and has increased by nearly 500% since 1986, which is far more than inflation or tuition (Willie). The question is, why has there been such a mas...
University costs continue to increase as well. An interesting concept to reducing these costs would be to reduce the requirements for degree completion. Decreasing the requirements would allow students to graduate sooner and begin to pay off their student loans sooner.
This a very weak reason to be considered because the Digest of Education Statistics mentions that, “For the 2013–14 academic year, annual current dollar prices for undergraduate tuition, fees, room, and board were estimated to be $15,640 at public institutions, $40,614 at private nonprofit institutions, and $23,135 at private for-profit institutions. Between 2003–04 and 2013–14, prices for undergraduate tuition, fees, room, and board at public institutions rose 34 percent, and prices at private nonprofit institutions rose 25 percent, after adjustment for inflation. The price for undergraduate tuition, fees, room, and board at private for-profit institutions decreased 16 percent between 2003–04 and 2013–14, after adjustment for inflation” (Tuition costs of colleges and universities). The data provided indicates that college education is really affordable and becomes cheaper if a person is eligible for grants and scholarships provided by the colleges, States and the federal government at large. There are so many grants, the most common throughout all colleges being Pell Grant, which lower the cost of a college
The skyrocketing price of college tuition is causing a tremendous concern over whether higher education will be a viable financial concept to the average citizen over the next decades. Some families have opted to explore different means of obtaining a higher education for their children as these costs escalate. There is overwhelming evidence that colleges need to restructure the way they are run because tuition prices are increasing at a rapid rate causing changes in the way students fund their education and in the way the government provides educational subsidies.
(Kantrowitz, Mark) In 2012 students who lived in Texas and attended TJC owed $11,308 in tuition in fees for student loans. (US News Education) That price has risen and in four short years it is now $16,307. That is five thousand dollars more than previously. Five thousand in only four years in mind boggling. If a student wanted to pay off that amount in ten years, it would be $167.36 a month, versus in 2012 it would have been $116.05. Many students and their families live paycheck to paycheck, and they do not have that money to spare each month. The increase in price will hurt more than it would help.
The extensive differences between in-state and out-of-state tuition costs may dishearten numerous students from attending the school of their choice, which may also be one of the better schools they were accepted into. Therefore, this inequitable price discrimination, over time, will end up to hurt these individuals, causing many to receive a lower-quality education due to the unaffordable prices, which will result in a lower-paying, less successful career for the individual. This also damages the economy, because lower-quality educations create a lesser-educated workforce, which in turn makes a less productive workforce causing more of an economic issue for the general public.
How does the rising cost of college tuition affect us? Every year thousands of students attend a college or university, usually of their choice, with the goal of achieving a higher education and to better their future. The cost of attending college is too high and it needs to go down; there needs to be more scholarship and grant opportunities. The high cost of attending college is a major reason that students aren’t able to achieve higher education; others take this as a challenge and it is motivation for them to work harder to achieve their goal. One might ask why would someone want to spend money to receive more education and miss out on more years of work that they could’ve performed? For many, it is so they can receive more salary for the jobs that they will have later in life, also so that they can get training for their wanted career. The cost of attending college is high and continues to rise without indications of decreasing. The rising cost has many benefits such as earning more pay, but it also has its disadvantages such as the debt that is accumulated from student loans. Not everyone can afford to drop down thousands of dollars and attend school for a few more years. Students who wish to receive a post-secondary education must decide whether it is the right choice for them depending on their financial standpoint, meaning that they must decide if they have the resources to further their education.
If a ceiling was set on tuition at all public colleges in the united states there would be a drastic increase in government taxes. Tuition at public universities is usually shared between the government or taxpayers, and the parents and student. As student costs increase such as maintenance, room, board, travel, laundry, and entertainment taxes would have to increase to cover the additional expenses. The failure of tuition to increase at the same rate as the increases of wages and salaries in the economy will require additional government revenues.
Accurately forecasting the cost of projects is vital to the survival of any business or organization. Cost estimators develop the cost information that business owners or managers, professional design team members, and construction contractors need to make budgetary and feasibility determinations. From an Owner's perspective the cost estimate may be used to determine the project scope or whether the project should proceed. According to the U.S. Department of Labor there were about 198,000 cost estimators in 1994. That of which 58% work in the construction industry, 17% employed in manufacturing industries, and the remaining 25% elsewhere. From this we could conclude that a great deal of cost estimation lies in the construction industry, where multi-million dollar contracts are formed after a thorough cost estimation.
Most people wouldn't care as much about getting a job in their field if the tuition costs were lower. This way, there would not be as much financial pressure after graduation. The financial burden of tuition costs after graduation pressures many students to feel pressured to get the right job, or even not attend a university. These issues are not new, and deserve to have a second look. Many people in the United States struggle with tuition fees, while other countries have already attempted to lower or completely eliminate tuition costs.
Rothschild, M. & White, L. (1995). “The Analytics of the Pricing in Higher Education and
The tuition increase policy is one policy that is popular among the students in the state of Texas and their families whom the increase would also affect. This policy is affecting students with low-income and families and it is one issue that is on the lips of every student on campus who complain about how uncertain they are of finishing college or the amount of student loan that would have take up the responsibility of paying after they graduate college. I chose this topic because I feel that we do not need an increase in our tuition in order to receive a higher and quality education. It is something that I wish could be reconsidered by the state legislatures and the Board of regents.
Should the university increase tuition fee? Currently, a debate about whether universities and colleges should increase their tuition fees has drawn a lot of attention and discussion among both the students and the faculty. According to the article, “The Struggle for Public Education in California: Coming Due: Accounting for Debt, Counting on Crisis,” the authors state， “Low income students have on average $2,000 more in debt than others. During the last ten years, average U.S. college tuition has increased about 8 percent (three times the rate of inflation) every year. In the UC system, tuition has increased 300 percent since 2000 '，” That supports, students in the universities or colleges are really hard get the diploma because they can’t afford tuition by themselves or their parents. Especially, government and organization always provide financial support to university and college, they have enough money to support whole university or college work thoroughly. So, university and college should not increase tuition fee.
