As Student Debt Rises, Some Colleges Look to Tackle Costs

When Hayley Brunetta graduates from Rowan University in New Jersey next year, she'll have both an associate's and a bachelor's degree. What she won't have is student debt.  She's accomplishing this through a mixture of state grants, personal savings and a unique partnership between Rowan University and Rowan College at Burlington County.  That partnership, known as 3+1, allows qualified students to spend three years at the community college and their final year at Rowan in Glassboro, all for a price tag of about $25,000.
