Graduate schools with the lowest rates of student loan repayment

Concerns about the cost of higher education focus mostly on undergraduate degrees, while graduate degrees receive less scrutiny. However, most institutions show slower loan repayment progress among graduate students than undergraduates.

No, educators and policymakers shouldn’t just ‘do what the research shows’

How leading colleges are improving the attainment of high-value degrees
Mark Schneider and Kim Clark | American Enterprise Institute 
We are only now beginning to create a “playbook” of institution-level interventions that might help the nation and many more students reach an important goal: a high-value college degree that leads to family-sustaining wages over the long run.


The policy imperative: Policy tools should create incentives for college completion
Sarah Turner | American Enterprise Institute 
There is no single cause of low rates of college completion, nor will there be a simple “magic bullet” policy solution. The challenge is persistent and complex, while the returns to increasing college completion are substantial.

Education reforms should obey Campbell’s law
Frederick M. Hess | Education Next 
In education, improvement efforts have frequently been blindsided by Campbell’s law. Attempts to evaluate schools and teachers using a few simple metrics, primarily reading and math scores, have given educators cause to do everything possible to boost those results.

The master's as the new bachelor's degree: In search of the labor market payoff

Mark Schneider and Jorge Klor de Alva
Read Online Printable Copy    

KEY POINTS
  • American universities awarded roughly 760,000 master's degrees during the 2014–15 academic year, yet we know little about the payoff associated with these degrees, especially by field of study.

  • Using new data from three states, we show that field of study is closely related to postgraduation earnings from master's degrees. Master's graduates in fields such as philosophy, art, and early childhood education have the lowest median earnings—often less than graduates with bachelor's or even associate degrees.

  • The highest-paid graduates earned master's degrees in fields such as business, information technology, engineering, or real estate. Differences in state labor markets also led to variance in postgraduate earnings, more so for high-paying fields than low-paying fields.

  • As the number of master's degree candidates and graduates grows, federal and state governments have an obligation to collect and disseminate program-level data on earnings—prospective master's students, indeed all students, should know before they go.

    Please be advised that, as this site upgraded, some material is out of context with current events (it was originally posted between 2014- 2018.) However, the content is ageless and seeks to remedy a disintegrating educational program, even as we speak of it today. The best remedies will remain voiceless; without a heavy purse, stronger family structure, and less educational politics to announce a new educational ideology that puts kids first.
