These Are The Most Expensive Colleges in America

The fact that education doesn’t come cheap is well-known but there are some colleges that will set you back a considerable penny (loads to be precise) and in most cases, you would have to pay the full cost of your program of choice. Without much ado, these are the 17 most expensive colleges in America. 17. Bard College Built in the 1850’s by Christian philanthropist John Bard, Bard College (formerly named St. Stephen’s College) started out as a male theological school for the Episcopal Church. In 1919, Bernard Iddings Bell, the acclaimed Episcopal priest, was appointed the school’s president and under his leadership, Bard adopted a broader and more secular curriculum which doubled the student enrollment. By the 1940’s, Bard had become a refuge for fleeing European intellectuals such as Hannah Arendt and Adolf Sturmthal and it would later be considered as one of the first adopters of progressive education. The DCA is $71,979 . 1 Click here to check out Bard's reviews...
