BYU Pathway tuition fees around the world

Tuition fees around the world presented sorted from lower to higher and in a world map.

Prerequisites

The code uses Selenium WebDriver, you can get WebDriver for Firefox from mozilla/geckodriver (choose the appropriate version depending on your OS). You could also change the relevant line of code in the notebook to use a different browser, but you will still need to get WebDriver for that browser.

Installation

It is recommended to create a virtual environment. You can do so in any way that is convenient to you, one way of doing it is using the venv module included in standard python:

python -m venv .byu

The previous command creates a virtual environment called .byu, you can instead call it whatever you want.

Then, you will have to activate your virtual environment:

Windows:

.byu\Scripts\activate

Linux or Mac:

source .byu/bin/activate

Once the virtual environment has been successfully created and activated, install the dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

The code is in a Jupyter notebook. There are many ways of runnig Jupyter notebooks; to open the file directly in your browser use:

python -m notebook byu_pathway_tuition_by_country.ipynb

The notebook will by default show tuition fees as of July 3, 2023, but you can update it by going to Cell -> Run All.
