Is College Worth It?

from Conversations with Economists · host Conversations With Economists

Recent surveys suggest many Americans have lost faith in the value of higher education. Are they right? Do they act like college isn't worth it or is that just what they say in surveys? James Feigenbaum, Assistant Professor of Economics moderates a discussion along with Joshua Goodman, Associate Professor of Economics and Education, and Kevin Lang, Laurence A. Bloom Professor of Economics, where they review evidence about college enrollment trends, the costs and benefits of college degrees, and recent federal policy developments in higher education.
