The most expensive college in the U.S. is a tiny school that you may have never heard of.

CNN Money reports.

Why America’s most expensive college is a bargain

Harvey Mudd, a private liberal arts college outside Los Angeles, charged $67,155 for tuition, room and board this year. That’s $23,200 more than the average private college.

The campus itself isn’t particularly extravagant. A lot of classes meet in the basement, there’s no rock climbing wall and the school has to partner with two others to field a football team.

But it has other perks. Grads are known to land high-paying jobs as soon as they have their diploma in hand.

Here’s why the school offers a lot of bang for the buck.

Your degree can pay off big time

It costs more to get a degree from Harvey Mudd than it does to buy a home.

But this diploma can have a big payoff. Google (GOOGL, Tech30) hired 11 of the school’s 170 graduates last May. Amazon (AMZN, Tech30) and Microsoft (MSFT, Tech30) each hired four.
