How to Sort Colleges by Cost of Tuition

Earning a college degree provides most people an advantage in the job sector. People from 25 to 34 with a bachelor's degree earned an average of $48,445 a year as opposed to $28,224 per year with just a high school degree in 2008, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's 2011 Statistical Abstract. For many, paying college tuition is an investment in the future. You don't want to pick a school without doing your due diligence. Take the time to sort colleges by tuition to get the best value (see Reference 1).

Instructions

    • 1

      Find tuition prices. Go to the college's official websites for the year's fee. You can also check out established college guides such as the "Fiske Guide to Colleges."

    • 2

      Create categories for the tuition cost. This is helpful so you can compare college costs by public school, private school, in-state tuition, out of state tuition, full-time and part-time.

    • 3

      Line up the tuitions in order. Some people may want to view tuition by least expensive first, while others prefer to see the prices listed in descending order.

    • 4

      Take into account other factors. The sticker price of tuition may not be the final price. Factor in financial aid, grants and scholarships opportunities.
