Abstract
For many years economists have shown interest in studying education as a form of
investment in human capital. It is widely believed that if one attains higher levels of
schooling, higher financial rewards will result. This dissertation focuses on ex-ante
rates of return to higher education, with particular reference to the University of
Natal, Durban. Individual data on 672 undergraduate students (from six different
faculties) in the academic year 2000 has been used to estimate the expected rewards
they will get upon graduation.
