~Your Favorite University Project~

Topic: Finding historical data on tuition and using that information to predict future tuition

costs.

Find data for the following:

-State college’s tuition (use in state or resident tuition) for the past TEN years.

Note: they do not need to be from the same state.

-Private college’s tuition for the past TEN years.

*You will need to graph a linear model for each.

*You will also need to find linear regression equations (prediction equations) for each.

*You will need a hard copy of the data collected.

*Lastly, predict the tuition cost for both universities in 2020.

Finding Tuition Costs

-Go to Google or any other internet search site you can type in “institutional + research + fact

book + tuition”

-Look up individual institutions on the www then go to the fact book section or institution

research section (not the easiest)
