University President Weighs In on Why American College Became so Expensive | Mat Jacobson

Does a college degree still open more doors than not having one? Getting there is becoming a different problem. U.S. tuition now runs roughly 10 times what the same credential costs in comparable countries, and the gap keeps widening without a clear explanation of where the money goes.

Employers still require a degree while increasingly doubting what it actually proves. The frustration runs in both directions, and the economics behind it are more deliberate than most people assume.

Mat Jacobson is president of Kennedy University and has spent years inside the economics of higher education. He joins “Market Insider” to explain how this structure took hold and whether a degree is still worth what the system charges for it.
