Survey Explores How Colleges Rate Their Value Versus Cost
Briefly

Growing skepticism about higher education persists among the public, prompting numerous polls to assess perceptions of a college degree's value. A recent survey by Tyton Partners found that 75% of college stakeholders are confident their education offers good value, particularly at community colleges. In contrast, only 28% of private four-year institution staff share this view. A strong correlation exists between students who perceive their education as worth the cost and those who feel well prepared for their careers, indicating significant implications for colleges' perceived value.
Three in four college stakeholders strongly believe their institution's education is worth the cost of tuition, with two-year institutions more likely to agree than private universities.
Only 28 percent of administrators at private four-year institutions believe their education justifies the cost compared to 68 percent at community colleges.
