I studied marketing (which I don't regret), but that is not an expensive class to teach! You need some books, some computers and a lecturer and a TA. That's about it.
Studying something like Biology or Engineering or Comp Sci where you're actually consuming resources as you learn (be it dissecting frogs or cloud computing or 3d printing equipment), so you'd expect that there's a cost that business, law and arts courses don't really have.
