Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Last week, we shared with you a list of the ten most expensive Colorado colleges by in-state tuition, according to U.S. Department of Education data for the 2013-2014 school year as compiled by CollegeCalc.org.
This week, we look at the roster of the priciest schools judged by out-of-state tuition.
Some colleges show up on both lists, but typically in a different order, and several only appear here, suggesting that the prices charged out-of-staters are helping to keep costs for Colorado students lower than they might have been otherwise, if not low in general.
Count down the photo-illustrated top ten below, featuring CollegeCalc.org figures — and be sure to click on the links for more information about each school.
