Pricing Educational Programs
• The following objectives should be sought in pricing educational systems:– Course programming should be maximally flexible
– There should be no price disincentives to discourage students from taking additional courses to enhance their education
– Financial pressures on students to graduate earlier than they wish should be minimal
– There should be an effort to minimize the financial distribution between scholarship and non-scholarship students
Scaled Pricing
• Under a system of scaled pricing, a student pays more for the first and second courses, less for additional courses up to an accepted norm
• This form of pricing encourages taking courses for individual enrichment, not acceleration purposes
Two-Part Pricing
• Two part pricing partitions tuition into two parts:– The first part fixes prices to enrolling students
independent of the number of courses taken– The second part fixes prices to the individual course
• The fixed price requires analyzing and segregating instructional and non-instructional costs.
• In two part pricing, there are no additional costs to the student for acceleration
Term Pricing
• Under the term pricing model, a flat tuition fee is charged each term. This schedule discourages part time study but does not penalize a student who wishes to take additional courses for credit
Unit Pricing
• Under a unit pricing system, students are charged a set price per course
• This system is generally in effect at institutions with large numbers of part time commuter students
