Market Size

• Using existing data, we estimated a market size of $129 billion for Masters degrees.

• We also estimated a market size of $155.6 billion for Bachelors degrees.

• There are an estimated 17.5 million undergraduate college students and 4.3 million Masters level students each year in the US.

• Given the average cost of a Bachelors degree is $8,893 per year and a Masters degree is approximately $30,000 per year, we determined total gross revenue of 155.6 billion for Bachelors degrees and 129 billion for Masters degrees (Calculation: 17.5 million x $8,893 = 155.6 billion and 4.3 million x $30,000 = 129 billion).
• These figures represent overall gross revenue from higher education, rather than profit as a whole which varies across universities and we were thus was not able to be determined given publicly available data.
