Post-baccalaureate degree in Canada?

Wow.  I'd seen this on NBC News last week, and it sort of lingered in the back of my head until tonight, when I decided to check it out.  Now, I don't think that the cost differential for undergraduate studies matters that much, but graduate studies is another beast, because as many people would note, graduate program costs are much higher than undergraduate programs.

To start, let's review the TimesUK's Higher Education World Reputation Rankings (note that these are purely subjective, based on the opinions of invited academia):

Rank	School	Graduate Tuition (est)
1	Harvard	$36,304
2	MIT	$40,460
5	UC Berkeley	$26,322
6	Stanford	$40,050
7	Princeton	$37,000
8	UCLA	$26,322
10	Yale	$34,500
11	Cal Tech	$36,387
12	Michigan	$37,726
13	Columbia	$37,556
14	Chicago	$44,568
16	Toronto	$13,892
17	Cornell	$29,500
18	Pennsylvania	$26,660
19	Johns Hopkins	$42,260
24	Illinois - Urbana Champaign	$25,221
26	Carnegie Mellon	$36,900
27	Texas - Austin	$20,108
27	Washington	$24,940
29	NYU	$33,168
30	Wisconsin-Madison	$24,054
31	British Columbia	$4,059
31	McGill	$11,307
31	Duke	$39,260
34	UC-San Diego	$26,322
37	Northwestern	$41,592
38	Georgia Tech	$26,860

Some quick notes: Sources of general graduate tuition come from here and here.  All prices are non-resident / foreign rates. These are general prices based on non-specialized degrees and do not include fees.

Notice something? Top Canadian university graduate programs cost a lot less!  Two years of graduate school and we're talking big money!  The University of British Columbia is an interesting case, because your tuition cost will go down in your second year.

Canadian universities represent a huge bargain for post-baccalaureate degrees!  We know where Canadians place their priorities: education.
