First Link is the article.

https://cew.georgetown.edu/cew-reports/CollegeROI/

This is the data base.

"The study concluded that even after paying off higher amounts of debt, the average graduate of a private four-year college has a net economic gain of $838,000 over 40 years - compared with $765,000 for a public college graduate."

Our NPV after 40 years is $816,000
NC state $1,113,000
unca 722,000
unc 1,185,000
unc clt 921,000
uncg 796,000
uncw 858,000
nc central 679,000


troy 776,000
GA state 908,000
GA southern 871,000

This is the unfortunate down side to not having med, law, engineering etc...on the big money maker degrees.

This was a well done database. I don't always take too much value in the random things you see online in these articles but this was well put together and I think has some value.

At least we finally got the PhD in Psychology program. They make pretty good dough. Don't know how long it will last given the low participation figures.

Of course! You can't measure the qualitative value. This article was mainly about being able to pay off student loans over the course of your life and measuring the value of what you paid for in your degree. The article even admits that there isn't a perfect way to look at this stuff.

This is neat, but only shows the $$ value of an education as it relates to earnings. It doesn't show the value of personal growth, friendships, discovery, etc, that you get and the value they hold after.


Cheesy, but a college degree is worth a lot more than the dollars you get. Granted, if I had less debt from it, I would be better off!
