Texas Governor Rick Perry is asking public universities in the state to put a
cap on what it costs to earn a bachelor's degree. The amount he has in mind is
ten-thousand-dollars. Many students are choosing to attend community colleges
before attending four-year universities. It's much less expensive to earn an
associate's degree. Tuition for 60 hours of credit at Texas State is around
16-thousand-dollars. Compare that with Austin Community College where the same
amount of credit can be earned for about 35-hundred dollars.
