Agreed. Small states need to justify the cost of big expensive universities by showing that they educate the people of the state. That's the theory. Some other states do the same. Very few of the kids on the low end actually go to KU or even K State, as they flunk a bunch out and cost more. They also impose different criteria to get into specific schools within the school, like engineering.
Good point. I remember looking at International MBA programs back in the early 2000’s and somehow U South Carolina’s is ranked one of the best in the country (http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-business-schools/international-business-rankings) and the school knows it. Today, a ‘regular’ MBA at South Carolina costs $33,920 a year while the annual tuition for the International MBA is $42,296 (resident) and $70,176 (non-resident) (http://www.moore.sc.edu/admissions/internationalmba/tuitionfees.aspx). Crazy.
I ended-up going to Boston U part-time as life got in the way of going full-time and work agreeded to pay for 75% of it.
