A bachelor’s degree in anthropology from Ithaca College costs $132,656, on average, and two years later, graduates are earning $19,227. That’s less than people in New York State earn with only a high school diploma and no college education.
A philosophy degree from Oberlin costs $142,220 and graduates two years later make an average of $18,154.
At Syracuse, a bachelor’s degree in studio and fine arts costs $137,888; two years later students who got one are earning $17,624, on average.
For more than 11 years, colleges have fought off attempts to hold them accountable for the most basic measure of student success: whether what graduates learn will provide them with the gainful employment they need to make it worth the price.
