High sticker prices and a lack of clarity in how the cost of college is actually calculated leaves many students — particularly from low-income households — stumped when it comes to determining if a given program is accessible to their financial realities. The Brookings Institution dug into this conversation on Monday, with a focus on college pricing, by hosting a discussion on the economics of higher education with Phillip Levine, a nonresident fellow of economic studies at Brookings’ Center on Children and Families, as well as a panel of higher education experts to cover a number of policy solutions looking to address institutional barriers.
