乔治敦大学的一份报告显示,2000年至2020年,由于国家资金减少,美国研究生学位的费用增加了两倍,导致学生债务增加,从34 000美元增加到50 000美元。 A Georgetown University report reveals that the cost of graduate degrees in the U.S. tripled from 2000 to 2020 due to reduced state funding, leading to higher student debt, which rose from $34,000 to $50,000. 毕业生入学率虽然有所增加,但差距依然存在,黑人和西班牙裔毕业生的平均收入低于16 000美元。 While graduate enrollment has increased, disparities persist, with Black and Hispanic graduates earning $16,000 less on average. 报告呼吁制定更好的贷款条例和工具,帮助学生评估债务风险,指出许多年轻借款人因财政负担而推迟重大生活决策。 The report calls for better loan regulation and tools to help students assess debt risks, noting that many young borrowers delay major life decisions due to financial burdens.
