Notes -
How would you go about determining the total cost of a person pursuing a humanities PhD at Cambridge? Beyond tuition, there’s the subsidies and donations which go to graduate student programs, and there’s the undergraduate tuition which goes to graduate student work. There’s the cost associated with taking up the time of relevant expert faculty. Then there’s the opportunity cost: someone is spending 4+ years of important professional years pursuing the PhD, which is high for someone intelligent. Is there any research on the total, society-wide cost of one humanities PhD student at an elite university?
