I was recently accepted to WashU, but have been set on going to Butler University for a while now. Thanks to the generous scholarship money I received from Butler, I can attend for $20,000. That is over $40,000 less than WashU. I plan on majoring in secondary education with a concentration in mathematics and minoring in political science. After that, I plan on getting a masters in curriculum development and, eventually, a doctorate in education administration. I would love to be a high school administrator at either a college prep school or a smaller public school, but still live in a city. Would an undergraduate degree from WashU be worth spending $160,000 more? Thanks to my parents, I would be able to graduate from WashU with less than $80,000 in debt.
