- The Advantages of Work-Study Plans. Rauh, Morton A. Cooperative Programs Costs Financial Problems Higher Education Models Work Experience Programs The conventional response to the financial crisis facing higher education is to increase tuition or request larger legislative appropriations. Another response, however, is possible--the wider use of cooperative education or work-study plans. There are three distinct advantages to work-study plans: (1) learning takes place in less costly settings than the classroom, the laboratory, and the library; (2) the capacity of the physical plant can be used to serve more students; and (3) the increased enrollment can be served without proportionate increases in costs. This paper discusses the calendar and financial operations of: (1) the conventional model extending over a nominal 9-month period; (2) the 4-quarter work-study model; all based on a student enrollment of 1000, a faculty of 100, $2,100 tuition, and a median faculty salary of $14,000.
