The Most Expensive College Turns Out To Be A Bargain
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.
