Does Quality Pay?

More about the book

The study explores the economic impact of attending high-quality colleges, revealing that previous research indicated only a minor benefit. By broadening the analysis to include factors like job satisfaction and graduate degree attainment, it aims to reconcile empirical evidence with social theories surrounding college choice. The findings provide a fresh perspective on the social role of college quality, suggesting that its influence extends beyond mere economic advantages to encompass a wider range of student outcomes.
