We've upped our tuition, so up yours...
And that last part is why it keeps going up.You will need to be really rich, really smart, really athletic, or really poor to go here. Yet, they continue to have to turn down thousands who want to go here.
The full time MBA program has really good scholarships. (Or at least it did) I was a TCU undergrad and chose to get my mba at TCU a little less than a decade after graduating and it was virtually free,HFrog, I get it and I live it. My son bleeds purple. Wanted to be a Frog, as well. In the business school at Arizona State. I told him if he can pull of his end of the deal, I'll pay. Going to try for the Neely School of Business MBA program.
The federal government will loan them the money, no questions asked.I don’t know why anybody would pay $300,000 for a degree.
And then tell them they don’t have to pay it back.The federal government will loan them the money, no questions asked.

Winning football = Greater interest = Higher tuition
Might need to ratchet down our winning football.
Just back of the napkin math, but I'm pretty sure my plumber can send his kids to TCU and pay full-freight, too.

We've set aside an extraordinarily large amount of money (in comparison with the middle class folks we hang out with) for college costs for our kids, but sometimes I feel like even that won't be enough.
Good news is this: Those with a "college degree" earn roughly $600k more over their career/lifetime vs. those with some type of an associates degree, and more than $1mm vs. those with a HS diploma.
That still gives schools like TCU a 2x roi argument vs. the overall alternative. TCU still has to compete with other cheaper schools, which they do on the basis of quality and experience, and so long as there are lots of rich people in our country that model will probably work out OK.
However, not all college degrees are created equal, and kids should be counseled on the values of said degrees vs. the cost of school prior to committing to any loans/etc... This is where I think the criticism is quite fair.

The increases in tuition have nothing to do with the education and everything to do with lining administrator pockets, building new shiny buildings that aren't needed, and paying for a whole Diversity, Inclusion and Equity departmentGood news is this: Those with a "college degree" earn roughly $600k more over their career/lifetime vs. those with some type of an associates degree, and more than $1mm vs. those with a HS diploma.
