Should Tuition Be Lower for STEM, Higher For Other Majors?
Tuition would be lower for students pursuing degrees most needed for Florida's job market, including ones in science, technology, engineering and math, collectively known as the STEM fields.
The committee is recommending no tuition increases for them in the next three years.
But to pay for that, students in fields such as psychology, political science, anthropology, and performing arts could pay more because they have fewer job prospects in the state.
An interesting thought: if you want more science/technical/engineering/math majors, charge them less. Conversely, charge more for the easier, softer majors. Via A Bunch of Arguments in Favor of Regressive Tuition, Bryan Caplan | EconLog | Library of Economics and Liberty.
