Massachusetts Has A Plan To Make College More Affordable

Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker and leaders of the state’s public education system are touting a new program they say could cut the cost of obtaining a bachelor’s degree by $5,000. 

The initiative is called the “Commonwealth Commitment.”  It was developed by faculty and administrators from the state’s community colleges, public universities, and the University of Massachusetts.
