That's PER YEAR, LB! The national average for providing a quality education at a major university is currently about $18,000-$25,000 per year, not including room and board. Room and board typically are covered in a direct "payment for service contract" separate from tuition and fees. The costs are completely out of hand...especially at some of the larger Universities, where there are TA's that can't speak English well doing the 'teaching'....while the Professor is out someplace doing public speaking, collecting more funds for him/herself, writing books, and other things, but not in the classroom teaching. You're right....Ethnic studies is on a rung above basketweaving, but a short rung. Young people often today, don't have an idea of what type of career they want, and the colleges don't facilitate that....The young people need to go to business leaders, and see what kind of background they need to follow their inclinations about careers....i.e. How much chemistry is required for a career in nursing. What salaries are potential in nursing? What kind of hours are available? etc etc etc
