Hyperbole or No?

I have that question as well.  I would think that Lib Arts would be the highest revenue majors given there are no expensive labs, supply of professors far outstripping the demand, etc, yet I see no focused effort to recruit those students.

Those factors affect cost, not revenue.  The tuition is $44,970 regardless of major.

Its because they can't make donations.

Highest revenue is the major that draws the most students. It is about numbers and the demand for liberal arts just isn't there like nursing for example.

Isn't the PT program the hardest to get into? It's something like top 5 in the country with only 70 spots a certain amount reserved for transfer students.

Could be, but since there's no bachelor's degree, I don't believe that is considered to be an undergraduate program.

Again, I assumed Fluffy was talking about net revenue, which I believe he affirmed in a later post.

Yes. My guess is that engineering and business majors pay more than liberal arts majors do.

They pay a little more (too lazy to look it up) but not enough that their margin is more.

Depends on how you allocate the costs. My guess is the marginal engineering student is more profitable than the marginal liberal arts student since most of the costs are fixed.

Not sure that's true, but agree to disagree.
