Best Buys in College Education 2009

This volume profiles 260 American colleges and universities with information about tuition and fees, student body composition, academic programs and a capsule summary with advice to enrolling students. The schools were chosen based on a comparison of their tuition rates with the national average and with similar schools. They are listed alphabetically by state but can also be searched through lists that rank the institutions by size, tuition, single-sex enrollment and inclusion of Phi Beta Kappa chapters.

Updated to keep pace with annually increasing costs, this unusual college directory is focused toward students and parents seeking a first-rate education at a reasonable price. Approximately 260 first-rate accredited American colleges are described with latest information on tuition and fees, academic programs, campus environment, financial aid resources, cost-cutting tips, and more. Costs range from virtually tuition-free and some excellent publicly supported schools to others where costs are moderately high but still represent a bargain in terms of quality of education. Annual tuition of colleges in the highest bracket is in the $20,000 range, but most listed schools are far less expensive.
