Concerns that students and parents have about college tuition are addressed. The first section, "Why Tuition Is Up," lists six reasons for high college costs and explains why these trends are not likely to change within the next few years. The next section, "What Colleges and Universities Are Doing about Rising Tuition," explains that tuition pays only part of what it costs an institution to educate a student and suggests ways to finance a degree. The concluding section, "Why Your Tuition Investment Is a Wise One," indicates that tuition is not merely an expense for something intangible but is a real investment in the future. The reasons offered for high tuition costs are as follows: (1) colleges are trying to compensate for faculty members' losses in real income; (2) costs over which colleges have no control are soaring; (3) colleges now are largely on their own in narrowing the technological gap with industry; (4) being nonprofit does not save higher education from paying taxes; (5) the higher costs of making capital investments put the pressure on colleges and universities; and (6) tuition revenues have had to cover a larger share of costs. It is noted that public institutions receive about 15% of their income from tuition, compared to 40% for private institutions. (SW)
