Case for Pursuing
Education
There are several reasons that one may choose to
pursue further studies in this time of economic
uncertainty:
In 1999, the per capita cost for the 14 million students in the
US higher education classrooms was about US12.5 million per
year, the cost of delivery to online students was about half
that of the classroom model
So a move to online delivery would have reduced total cost
by US87.5 billion for the year
