Ruggless, Michael A. – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The discourse on cost of attendance (COA) at American colleges and universities is ambiguous and complex. The literature around COA labels it as the 'sticker price' to attend college but categorization in this manner often negates the true application and meaning of this term. COA also accounts for living allowances (or indirect costs) to help…

Forty-five million Americans collectively owe $1.7 trillion in student loan debt, and women hold nearly two-thirds of it. Black borrowers are the group most negatively affected by student loans, in large part because of systemic racism, the inequitable distribution of wealth, a stratified labor market, and rising college costs. Because Black women…

Daniel Corral; James Dean Ward – Review of Higher Education, 2024
This study focuses on tuition reset policies, where colleges reduce the published sticker price by at least 5%, and in many instances, much more.

On average, these policies…

Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education, 2024
The benefits of a postsecondary credential are well-documented. Postsecondary education not only benefits the individual receiving an education, but also the community in which they live. College graduates tend to have more job opportunities and be employed in industries and roles that are less-impacted when the economy slows. This means college…

Jill Marie Beccaris-Pescatore – ProQuest LLC, 2024
The student retention behavior of stopping-out is widely misunderstood and yet very important in explaining community college student enrollment patterns. Stopping-out remains understudied in higher education literature as it is challenging to collect data from students who discontinued their enrollment, and since these students are not retained,…
