Measuring the Cost of a College Degree: A Case Study of a SUNY Community College
Romano, Richard M.; Losinger, Regina; Millard, Tim
Community College Review, v39 n3 p211-234 Jul 2011
Inspired by a white paper produced by the Delta Project on Postsecondary Education Costs, Productivity, and Accountability, this study uses different measures of calculating the cost of a college degree at an upstate community college in New York. Departmental cost per credit hour, direct instructional costs, and full costs are all explained. A transcript analysis of the 2008-2009 graduates highlights excess credit hours taken and cross-subsidies necessary within degree programs to produce these graduates. (Contains 1 note and 7 tables.)
