All over the world, people invest in education at all levels. However, even education is divided between what the rich and poor can handle. In that view, here is a list of ten of the most expensive universities in the world.
1. Sarah Lawrence College
It may not be an institution with a recognized name like Harvard, Yale or Oxford, but judging from their tuition costs, there must be something going on there worth paying big money for. Average tuition runs about $61,000 per year at this institution, which is located in Yonkers, New York, just a short distance outside New York City.
2. New York University
New York seems to be the destination for those willing to pay top dollar for a college degree. New York University is located in Greenwich Village in New York City and students will need to come up with around $60,000 per year to study there.
3. Harvey Mudd College
Don’t let the name fool you. Even though this is a name that sounds like a better fit for a pub, the fact that it comes in third on this list proves that this Claremont, California college is a top-notch destination for those seeking a college education. Getting through the door at Harvey Mudd College (and staying there) will cost about $59,000 per year on average.
4. Columbia University
New York does not seem content to remain absent from the most expensive institutions of higher learning in the world and is back with Columbia University. Attending this university will cost you about $59,000 per year as well.
5. Wesleyan University
Not far from New York City, in Middletown, Connecticut we find Wesleyan University, which is described as a “private liberal arts college.” Founded in 1831, it is steeped in history and will only set you back about $58,000 per year to attend.
6. Claremont McKenna College
Another California-based institution takes the number six spot on the list in a battle that seems to be between the east and west coasts of the United States up to this point. A year studying at Claremont McKenna averages about $58,000.
7. Dartmouth College
Dartmouth is a name that’s surely a familiar one to many. This college, located in New Hampshire averages about $58,000 for tuition annually.
8. Drexel University
This Philadelphia-based university that is described as a “private research university,” is pretty much in line with the previous three institutions where tuition is concerned and costs about $58,000 per year.
9. University of Chicago
The University of Chicago has a long history of being a superb institution of higher learning. Established in 1889, students from around the world enrol to take advantage of the university’s superior offerings. Tuition cost is between $57,500 and $58,000 per year.
10. Bard College
Even though it is number 10 on this list, tuition costs are not substantially lower than the first college on this list. A year of study at New York-based Bard will cost about $57,500.
