Alabama college ROI: Who truly benefits from higher education?
A new study by the Strada Education Foundation shows that about 67% of Alabama college graduates recoup their tuition costs within ten years, closely matching the national average. While bachelor’s and associate degree holders both see financial gains, rising tuition and evolving federal policies make careful program selection and alignment with workforce demands crucial for maximizing long-term returns on higher education.
