Big Waves in the Big 12
Our report on the successes -- and failures -- of Big 12 schools is making news! Be sure to check back for more in the coming days, but here are a few of the findings: all the schools have raised tuition recently, but Colorado has done so the most and Iowa State has done so the least -- Iowa State shares glory with Texas Tech for tuition that constitutes the lowest percentage of median state income. Both Colorado and Iowa State get poor marks for general education; Baylor, Texas A & M, and Texas all are A schools. Texas also gets high marks for its high graduation rate -- but tuition is 18.8% of median state income, .4% more than the that of the next highest public (Kansas). (Baylor is a private school, and tuition is nearly 60% of median state income.) Nebraska has the lowest graduation rate in the Big 12 -- only one in four Cornhuskers graduates within four years.
