Our State U system starts at about $250/credit hour for the directional colleges. The University of Michigan is $7225 a semester if you take 12-18 credits. So if you take 12, you pay more than $600 a credit hour. If you take 18, only $400.

And they charge more for higher level courses so for 100-299 level courses, it is cheaper than for 300 level courses and cheaper than 400 level courses. They also vary by major. I just grabbed numbers for the college of education for the University of Michigan and Eastern Michigan. Software engineering? You pay almost double. Of course, you will make almost double the salary, but still.

My "shocker" statement was about my own tuition from 1983-87. Eastern's tuition increased 555%.

That whole system sounds really complicated.
