Research question: should Engineering major’s pay more tuition than other majors?

Aubry, Timothy. “Don’t Panic, Liberal Arts Majors. The Tech World Wants You.” The New York Times, The New York Times, 21 Aug. 2017, www.nytimes.com/2017/08/21/books/review/you-can-do-anything-george-anders-liberal-arts-education.html.

The author Timothy Aubry is an Associate Professor of English and Deputy Chair of English Department in Baruch college, specializing in American Literature from the twentieth and twenty-first century, contemporary fiction, literary theory and criticism, and popular culture. He received his BA from Amherst College and his phD from Princeton. The author used two sources in the article the first one is a book written by George Anders and the title is “YOU CAN DO ANYTHING the Surprising Power of a “Useless” Liberal Arts Education”. The second one is also a book written by Randall Stross the title of the book is “A PRACTICAL EDUCATION Why Liberal Arts Majors Make Great Employees”. I can use this source in writing about the English major’s ability in providing help to the tech world. I found this article by using the search term English majors in New York Times website search.

There is one reference used in this article the reference is a research done by Glen Nelson who is a vice president of Arizona Board of Regents. The article gives examples with figures of differential tuition in the USA. According to the article Ninety-two of the 162 public research universities that offer undergraduate degrees have at least one program that charges higher tuition than other. Differentials in engineering averaged 14 percent but ranged from 2 percent to 45 percent. And in 2008, six schools — Oklahoma State, Oregon State, Virginia Commonwealth, the University of Illinois at Urbana Champagne, and the University of Colorado, Boulder — charged engineering students at least 25 percent more than other undergraduates.

Alvarez, Lizette. “Florida May Reduce Tuition for Select Majors.” The New York Times, The New York Times, 9 Dec. 2012, www.nytimes.com/2012/12/10/education/florida-may-reduce-tuition-for-select-majors.html.

Alvarez has been the Miami chief for the NYT since January 2011. The author used a report done by the State Higher Education Executive Officers to provide some evidences for the fact that spending per student in Florida decreased significantly from 2006 to 2011. The article is discussing what governor Scott and Republican lawmakers are prodding to 12 state universities. As it is showing that they are prodding them to find ways to encourage students to get into majors that are in demand in the job market. Alvarez thinks that it is difficult for universities to reduce the average of degree tuition as the universities also asked to provide a good quality education. However, Henningsen says there are some programs were $10000 makes perfect sense. In conclusion, some colleges starts exploring great private public partnership which is what Mr. Scott wants to see happen in the future.

Dwyer, Liz. “Should Engineering Students Pay More Than English Majors for Their Degrees?” GOOD Magazine, 17 Feb. 2015, www.good.is/articles/should-engineering-students-pay-more-than-english-majors-for-their-degrees.

Liz is the education editor in Good Magazine. She is the culture and education editor at Take part company. Liz used a survey done by Cornell Higher Education Research Institute in the article. The author first provided some examples in the article about many universities who the engineering or business departments charge more than the other departments. As a justification of that institutions or colleges research shows that engineering, business, and nursing majors students get higher starting salaries than the other students with English degrees. The article also gives other examples about the colleges that have higher tuition for seniors and juniors and the author says institutions have difficulties to graduate more students but because they make the tuition more expensive for students in their last years to get their degrees.

Frank, Adam. “Should Engineers Pay More Tuition Than English Majors?” NPR, NPR, 29 May 2012, www.npr.org/sections/13.7/2012/05/29/153889824/should-engineers-pay-more-tuition-than-english-majors.

Adam is a contributor to the NPR blog and a professor at the University of Rochester. He is currently heads a research group developing supercomputer code to study the formation and death of stars. This article is illustrating the authors ideas about the tuition in high education. The authors say it is a bad idea to make the cost of tuition depends on the major. He also mentioned that 140 public colleges had differential tuition rates in some cases the change depends where are the student level of courses and some schools it depends on the major. It makes sense that some majors tuitions is higher since it is cost more to run or in high demand as Adam says. In conclusion, the author says we need more scientists, engineers not less we also need to remain committed to educate in the humanities and the value it provides society.

Fain, Paul. “Tuition Model Quietly Spreading.” Differential Tuition Grows in Popularity, Even at Community Colleges, 9 Apr. 2012, www.insidehighered.com/news/2012/04/09/differential-tuition-grows-popularity-even-community-colleges.

Paul Fain had written for many newspapers and magazine such as The New York Times, Washington city Paper and Mother Jones. Paul has a degree in political from the University of Delaware in 1996. Paul use a research done by Ronald G. Ehrenberg the director of Cornell’s Higher Education Research Institute. According to Ehrenberg community colleges were to go the route many four-year colleges take to add an extra fee for high-cost majors. For example, the University of Kentucky charges $460 per semester for nursing, which is 10.7 increase over the in-state semester tuition of $4305. Nursing and engineering courses that requires expensive equipment and small capacity of student along with business programs are the most likely to come with extra fees according to the research.

The author Scott Jaschik is a leading voice on higher education issues, quoted regularly in publications nationwide, and publishing articles on colleges in publications such as The New York Times, The Boston Globe, The Washington Post, Salon. He also has been a judge or screener for the National Magazine Awards. The author graduated from Cornell University in 1985. The author used a research done by Kevin M. Stange who is an assistant professor of public policy at the University of Michigan. Scott also used a study done by Cornell Higher Education Research Institute. I can use this article in providing evidences of the decline of engineering students in some universities that occurred because of the differential tuition policy. The author main point in this article is to who the impact of the differential tuition on student as he believe that it discourage them to enroll in some fields.

Kayla Webley. “College Costs: Would Tuition Discounts Get More Students to Major in Science?” Time, Time, 3 Jan. 2013, nation.time.com/2013/01/03/college-costs-will-tuition-discounts-get-more-students-to-major-in-science/.

Kayla Webley is one of the Staff writers in Time. The author said, “many universities over the past decade have started charging more for majors with courses that are costlier to provide”. Degrees in biology and engineering, for example, typically involve smaller class sizes, higher faculty salaries and cutting-edge labs with expensive equipment. According to the article 45% of the large public research universities differentiate their pricing this way. For example, at the University of Texas at Austin, which started charging different tuition rates in 2004, engineering students pay $5,107 each semester, while liberal-arts majors pay $4,673 for in-state residents, however, for out-of-staters, the tuition costs jump to $17,189 and $15,878, respectively.

Pk, et al. “Should Engineers and Business Majors Pay Higher Tuition?” DQYDJ, 2 May 2016, https://dqydj.com/should-engineers-and-business-majors-pay-higher-tuition/.

This article is from a personal finance site. They produce original research, visualizations, along with well researched investing and articles. The author used many references to write the article. For instance, he used an article from The New York Times written by Christopher Drew an investigative reporter for NYT. The author seeks in the issue and says that it is a fact that engineering and business degrees costs the universities more than the other majors because it costs them more to pay for professors who have already have a higher average of salaries than professors in other majors. In addition, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) have increased costs in the form of a heavy laboratory aspect to their major. In conclusion, people who wants to be an engineer should be ok with paying a higher tuition than other majors since they expect to make more when they graduate.

Quinton, Sophie. “Why Universities Charge Extra For Engineering, Business And Nursing Degrees.” The Huffington Post, TheHuffingtonPost.com, 1 June 2017, www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/why-universities-charge-extra-for-engineering-business_us_59301ef8e4b017b267ee0090.

Sophie Quinton graduated from Yale University she wrote for National Journal, where she covered the White House and was a lead reporter for series on demographic change and the economy. She used a a study led by Gregory Wolniak who is a research director at New York University to provide evidences to her points. according to Wolniak study in 2015, 86 of 143 public research universities had a differential tuition policy while only 9 universities did in the early 1990’s. in addition, the differential tuition is particularly common in the Midwest. According to another survey conducted by Cornell researchers in 2011 universities most often charge for business, engineering and nursing programs. I can use this article to show evidences of the universities that had a differential tuition and the cost of the fee additional to each major.

Jung earned his PhD in philosophy from Florida State University in 2003 and masters in Arts from Seoul National University. Sande is Educational Leadership ad policy Studies in Florida State University. In the study, authors explored student responses to tuition increases broken down by academic majors in order to establish an empirical basis for a cost-related tuition policy that links tuition to expenditures of different academic majors. One of the critical in designing a cost related tuition policy is how students respond to tuition changes, universities need to have information about the students respond patterns to tuition so that they can increase it without losing studetns. The study also found that tuition elasticity is different across disciplines, especially in Engineering, where the tuition or tuition increase was not significant in modeling enrollment and both the rates of return and college costs are the highest among the six majors.

Jordan is a former senior associate editor at the Atlantic. Jordan used a wrking paper released by Kevin Stage an economist in the University of Michigan and a This article shows examples of the differences in the tuition between different majors and giving some examples of universities who have different prices between courses. The article discusses the issue as Weissmann see it and he provided his opinion and what is the disadvantage after this issue. There are chart from the study of Cornell’s Higher Education Research Institute showing the number of the institutions with differential tuition from 1960 to 2010. In conclusion, he thinks that it would not be a bad idea to charge seniors more than freshman as he says. So that he suggests making a different between the prices of the upper level courses and intro level. I found this article in google using the search term Engineering tuition.
