Do Factors Associated with Increases in Higher Education Costs Affect Average Net Price at Four-Year Public and Private Not-for-Profit Institutions?

<p>College costs have risen, and students and their families are questioning whether or not students can afford to attend. Factors such as instructional inefficiencies, administrative expenses, and federal financial aid have been associated with the rise in higher education costs at four-year public and four-year private not-for-profit institutions. In addition, reductions in state appropriations have been associated with an increase of tuition at four-year public institutions. But do these factors have a relationship with average net price?
