Textbook Alternative Program to save students nearly $120K in first year - Rowan Today

For generations, students have grumbled about the ever-rising cost of textbooks, and with good reason. Today, textbooks for undergraduate classes can cost $100 or more and up to $200, sometimes more, for graduate and professional school courses. A Rowan University pilot program starting this spring is aimed at eliminating the cost of texts for some classes by substituting free, online materials for pricey, paper-bound books. https://today.rowan.edu/home/news/2019/01/03/textbook-alternative-program-save-students-nearly-120k-first-year
