Are college degrees worth the debt?

SDSU Marketing & Communications

This interview originally aired on In the Moment on SDPB Radio.

A college degree can be an expensive piece of paper. Whether you're a high school student with a handful of university pamphlets or a college graduate with loans to pay off, you may be wondering: Is it still worth it?

South Dakota State University President Barry Dunn and recent graduate Kailee Schultz unpack the benefits these degrees can offer. They also discuss an uplifting trend of declining rates of debt at South Dakota universities.

Plus, they have words of advice for students who want to graduate with little or no debt.
