The teaching commons: is student loan debt good or bad debt?

Abstract: There is a dearth of pre-loan and post-loan counselling for undergraduate students using student loans to help finance their higher education. An assignment on student loan debt for undergraduate students, adaptable to a variety of courses, is designed to close the feedback loop between how much a specific higher education degree programme costs, projected salary upon graduation, and how much student loan debt is affordable given those two inputs and financial planning guidelines.

Keywords: economics education; personal finance education; student loans; loan debt; human capital; higher education; student finance; pre-loan counselling; post-loan counselling; undergraduate students; student debt; degree costs; projected salary; affordable debt; financial planning.
