UD presented a paper today..
...in her department, during which she alluded to the high cost of college. If only she’d seen this, she’d have been able to give a local example!
NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Tuition at the most expensive four-year college is up only 2.7 percent from last year. But a small increase on an already big number is still gob-smacking.
Landmark College, the school with the priciest tuition since at least 1998, is charging $37,738 for tuition this year, according to data from the Chronicle of Higher Education. That's up $11,238, or 42 percent, from 1998.
Of course, not everyone is aiming to go to Landmark, a school in Putney, Vt. that provides a liberal arts education to kids with learning disabilities and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
But the price tag isn't that much lower at the other nine schools that charge the highest tuition.
George Washington University in Washington, D.C. ranks No. 2 with a tuition of $36,400, up 7 percent from last year.
