Abstract
An introduction is presented in which the editor discusses major differences why some degrees cost colleges more than others. Results underscore the potential wedge between the social and private returns to higher education. Also, substantial variation across disciplines in average costs per student credit hour has been found, with costs that range from about $434 per hour in electrical engineering to $163 per hour in math.
