The average cost of college has more than doubled in the 21st century with an annual growth rate of 2% over the past 10 years.

At the same time, college is becoming both more important for a young person trying to gain a foothold in the American economy – and more expensive.

A report published in 2024 by the National Center of Education Statistics (NCES) on Annual Earning by Educational Attainment showed that, “In 2022, the median earnings of those with a bachelor’s degree were 59% higher than the earning of those who completed high school […] as their highest level of attainment.”

What’s causing this exponential growth in the tuition and fees a college student must bear? It’s simple. More and more people are placing a greater value on the benefits of a higher education.
