[Feb 4, 2014]

 It was found that YU (President Noh, Seok Kyun) invested the most amount of money in education per student in the 2012 school year among 4-year private universities in the Daegu-Gyeongbuk region. When including all 4-year universities such as national and public universities, YU came in 3rd following POSTECH and Kyungpook National University.

 The education cost per student is the total education fee compared to the number of enrolled students and it represents the amount invested by the university for students. It is commonly mistaken as tuition paid by students/parents and is easy to be confused by education consumers.

 In 2012, YU invested 11,600,100 won in education expenses for a student. This is the third highest among four-year universities in the Daegu-Gyeongbuk region following POSTECH (90,087,200 won, first in nation) and Kyungpook National University (11,904,000 won). Following the top three are Handong Global University (11,522,400 won), Andong National University (10,605,300 won), Keimyung University (10,554,500 won), Kumoh National Institute of Technology (10,080,100 won), Kyungil University (10,033,800 won) Daegu Haany University (9,920,900 won), the Catholic University of Daegu (9,834,100 won), and etc.

 Meanwhile, the education cost per student is estimated based on the previous year's data on final accounts in August of every year. The 2013 education cost per student is estimated based on the data of 2012 school year's data on final accounts announced by the Higher Education in Korea(http://www.academyinfo.go.kr/). In the case of main/branch school system schools with campuses in provincial areas, the accounting of the main and branch schools are integrated to estimate the education expense per student by adding the main/branch schools.
