Project Description

View help for Summary
Many public universities have adopted
differential tuition policies that charge higher prices for academic majors
that are in high demand from students and/or are expensive to operate. I
compiled the first comprehensive dataset of differential tuition policies
across virtually all public universities over the last two decades to examine
the effects on degree completions in business, engineering, and nursing with a
focus on racially minoritized groups. Using event study techniques, I found that
differential tuition modestly increased the number of engineering degrees
awarded and that White students tended to benefit more
than other racial/ethnic groups from differential tuition across all three
fields of study.
