Graduates' Views on Whether College Was Worth It

In this year's version of the Gallup-Purdue Index, alumni rated whether they thought their education had been worth the cost, using a five-point scale from strongly agree (5, the lightest blue in the bars below) to strongly disagree (1, the darkest blue in the bars below).

Private for-profit institutions had the largest share of alumni who strongly disagreed, at 13 percent.
