Factors Affecting Instructional Costs at Major Research Universities

The purpose of this article is to analyze in quantitative terms why unit instructional costs differ among major research universities. Previous studies have uncovered many of the factors that account for costs in higher education. The primary task here is to specify the relative importance of these and additional factors. Particular attention is given to the effects of enrollment size on unit instructional costs.
