| Bellevue University's Human Capital Lab is Teaming Up with CAEL to Determine the Real Market Price of Tuition
Published October 2007 in TAPwire Newsletter
Published in Innovation at Work, Fall 2007
It’s astounding to realize that the actual
cost of tuition paid has never really been calculated or reported. That’s
because the majority of undergraduate college students don’t pay the
published tuition rate. Most college students come in through the discount
door, either thanks to scholarships or corporate tuition reimbursement.
CAEL and Bellevue University’s Human Capital Lab are collaborating
on a research project that looks at the actual price corporations pay for
a semester credit hour of accredited degree seeking education.

Me and My Company?" Looking at the Use of Educational
Advising for Employer-Funded Tuition Programs

learning and skill needs of their employers. Employers, meanwhile,
often give employees great freedom in choosing how to use
their tuition or other educational benefits, leading many
to wonder if those benefits are always used wisely or whether
most employees can use them at all. Career and education advising
can help address these issues. This article summarizes a career
advising study conducted by CAEL.

Smarter Tuition-Assistance Programs: Advice from Academe
Published in SHRMOnline
By Jay A. Halfond, Ph.D., Dean of Boston University’s
Metropolitan College and Extended Education
Most employers support the higher education of their employees,
and most colleges and universities rely heavily on these tuition
dollars. Given this interdependence, it is remarkable how
little direct dialogue occurs to ensure that corporate needs
are being addressed and that companies are exposed to the
full array of what their academic suppliers can provide. It
is also remarkable how little scrutiny employers apply to
how their dollars are spent and what return they receive on
their investment. This article offers advice on how to work
with educational institutions to get more for your tuition
dollars.
