Longer-Term Economic Effects of College Selectivity and Control.
Thomas, Scott L.
Research in Higher Education, v44 n3 p263-99 Jun 2003
Assessed effects of college selectivity and control on earnings and indebtedness. Found evidence of a substantial earnings return to college selectivity and control, and that enhanced earnings for graduates from selective private colleges quickly offset their associated heavier debt. Problematic issues include a mix of high debt loads and sub-par labor market experiences for graduates from low selectivity private institutions, those that also serve a disproportionate number of nontraditional students.
