The Higher Education Bubble
In this series of infographics and videos, Education News explores if there is a "higher education bubble"--if the cost of higher education been inflated past its intrinsic value, and in turn, might burst and create a harsh reality for those involved. This video introduces this dilemma.
The first inforgraphic (Part I) breaks down exactly how an economic bubble forms, expands, and bursts, and compares the higher ed bubble to the housing bubble, and look at the role of rising tuition. Part two analyzes the student loans crisis and the unforgiving post-graduation job market.
With this information, the graphics also give advice on how to find a college and get a degree without being burned.
