Basic Student Charges At Postsecondary Institutions

This report lists the typical tuition and required fees and room and board charges for academic year 1993-94 at more than 5,000 of the 5,700 four-year, two-year, and public less-than-two-year postsecondary institutions in the United States and its outlying areas. Included are tuition and fee charges to in-state and out-of-state students at the undergraduate and graduate levels, along with the costs for room and board and the number of meals per week covered by the board charge. The report includes several tables with national statistics on tuition and required fees. These data are followed by data on tuition and required fees and room and board charges at individual institutions, by state, including: (1) public and private four-year institutions; (2) public and private two-year institutions; and (3) public less-than-two-year institutions. Another table lists tuition and required fees for first-professional degree programs. Data were collected through the 1993-94 "Institutional Characteristics" survey conducted annually as part of the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System. (JDD)

This document lists the typical tuition and required fees and room and board charges assessed to college students in 1994-95 based on a national "Institutional Characteristics" survey which is part of the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System. The data were collected from over 5,000 of the 5,775 4-year, 2-year, and public less-then-2-year postsecondary institutions in the United States and its outlying areas. Included are tuition and fee charges to in-state and out-of-state students at the undergraduate and graduate levels, along with the costs for room and board, and the number of meals per week covered by the board charge.
