Addressing Student Debt in the Classroom
Perkins, David; Johnston, Tim; Lytle, Rick
Journal of Education for Business, v91 n3 p117-124 2016
Student debt is a national concern. The authors address debt in the classroom to enhance students' understanding of the consequences of debt and the need for caution when financing their education. However, student feedback indicates this understanding has a delayed effect on borrowing behavior and underscores the importance of making difficult behavioral changes sooner rather than later in order to lower student debt levels.
