A recently published study found no correlation between the cost of college tuition and how its graduates ultimately assess the usefulness of their learning experience. This means that there are colleges giving high-level knowledge, training in which is inexpensive, and there are institutions that will hit the wallet hard, but they will not give the necessary knowledge.

In order to calculate the effectiveness of the college, Time journalists compared prices for studies in American educational institutions; probability of getting a scholarship; graduates' salaries immediately after graduation, as well as their average debt after graduation. Based on these data, a ranking of colleges was made, the quality of education in which justifies its cost.
