• Study by Barrow and Rouse:
• “Lifetime incomes of college grads in today's dollars average nearly $300,000 more than high school graduates over a 40-year career. And that's the net benefit, after deducting an average cost of more than $100,000 in tuition, room and board and potential income lost while attending college.”

Why you should come to class, economically speaking.
• This is class costs an in-state student $1,045 (including fees).
• There are 17 scheduled classes, so each class session costs an average of $61.47.
• For a YSU graduate, the estimated gross returns are between $4.00 - $5.60 for every $1.00 spent on education!
• If you graduate, each class would be worth an average of $245.88 - $344.24 in additional gross lifetime income ($184.41 – $282.77 net)!
