Reply to comment by butterfly105 in Penn State, PSU, Temple and Lincoln say a tuition hike is needed, even with a 7% increase in state funding by Mrstucco

I wouldn't necessarily recommend an English, Philosophy, Communications, etc degree to anybody, but they're generally fairly cheap programs to run. They don't require expensive lab space or professors with high salary requirements because you've got to hire then away from the private sector. They're generally profit centers for the university that end up subsidizing the math-ier subjects.

They also still make more than non-college graduates on average. An English or comm degree may not be for a specific job like a biologist or engineer or teacher, but it still opens a lot of doors. It’s just not guaranteed for a specific position like a rocket scientist or something is.
