The student charges listed in this report should be used for reference and comparison purposes only, and not as a quote of actual charges at an institution. Tuition and fees may vary at an institution by student enrollment level or program and allowances should be made for increases that may have taken place since these data were gathered. In addition to these charges, a student should plan for other costs such as books and supplies, laboratory fees, transportation, and personal expenses. There were 5,685 4-year, 2-year, and public less-than-2-year institutions in the United States and its outlying areas in the 1992-93 Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) universe; of these, more than 5,200 responded to the IPEDS 1992-93 "Institutional Characteristics" Nearly 5,000 institutions provided data cn basic student survey for a response rate of 92 percent. charges. The remaining schools either did not respond to the questions or did not offer programs to full- Tuition and fees and room and board charges time students and, thus, were not required to respond. are not imputed for nonrespondents to these items, so all columns are blank for these schools. Nonrespondents are indicated on the listings with a double asterisk (**); schools with no full-time students are also noted. All institutions listed in this report were in operation during the 1992-93 school year. The student charges reported by the institutions were edited for reasonableness and consistency with charges for the previous year (1991-92). Large variations in charges from the previous year were verified with the institution; otherwise, the data were accepted as reported. For institutions that did not respond the previous year, data were accepted as renorted although data that appeared questionable were verified with the institution. Zero charges represent actual reported responses. Organization of this report Basic Student Charges includes several tables with national statistics on tuition and required fees at postsecondary institutions for academic year 1992-93 (tables A, B, and C). These data are followed by tuition and required fees and room and board charges at individual institutions (tables 1, 2, and 3) and tuition and required fees for first-professional programs (table 4). Table 1 lists public and private 4-year institutions, that is, those offering a t Fhelor's degree or higher award; table 2 lists public and private 2-year institutions, that is, those offering a postsecondary award of at least 2 but less than 4 academic years; table 3 lists public less - than -2 -"ear institutions, that is, those offering a postsecondary award of less than 2 academic years; and table 4 provides tuition and required fees for first-professional 'The outlying areas of the United States are American Samoa, Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, Marshall Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, Palau, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. 0 1 programs, by institution.' Private less-than-2-year institutions are not included in this report because the data requested on student charges from these schools are requested by program and thus are not comparable to the academic year data presented in this report. Schools are listed alphabetically by state in tables 1, 2, 3, and 4 (U.S. Service Schools are listed separately following Wyoming3). Schools in the outlying areas, such as Puerto Rico, follow the state At the beginning of each state and outlying area in tables 1, 2, and 3, the user will note listings. These averages were calculated using data from the averages for the various student charges. respondent institutions only, and no imputations were performed for nonresponse. The state averages reported here may differ from the state averages for all institutions to the degree that respondents are For the convenience of the user, an explanation of th,- codes not representative of nonrespondents.4 used in the tables is provided in the next section of this publication and at the bottom of the last page of each table. The institutional names in this report were transferred directly from the survey data tape. Thus, names may be abbreviated to accommodate the maximum number of 50 tape positions for this variable. Branch campuses may be further identified by their city location to aid the user of this report. 'Due to space limitations in this report, private nonprofit and private for-profit institutions are identified only as private institutions in the institutional listings in tables 1, 2, and 3. However, the introductory tables B and C provide selected national statistics on nonprofit and for-profit institutions. 'The U.S. Service Schools are listed separately in tables 1 and 2, so that their tuition and fees and room and board charges do not impact on state averages. Their actual locations are as follows: Community College of the Air Force (Alabama); Naval Postgraduate School (California); United States Air Force Academy (Colorado); United States Coast Guard Academy (Connecticut): United States Army Command and General Staff College (Kansas); Uniformed Services University of the Health ScienCes and United States Naval Academy (Maryland); United States Merchant Marine Academy and United States Military Academy (new York); and Air Force Institute of Technology (Ohio), °The state/outlying area averages are based on actual institutional charges, that is, they are not weighted by Combined room and board charges are not included in the calculation of student enrollment at institutions. average charges for room and average charges for board. A small number of institutions provide tuition, icotr, and/or board free of charge. These "zero-dollar charges" were verified with the institution and are included in the calculation of the state/outlying area averages If tuition, room, and/or board data were not and in the summary statistics in introductory tables A, B, and C. provided by an institution (due to voluntary nonresponse or nonapplicability of the item to the institution), these "missing data cases' were not included in the calculation of averages or in the summary statistics. 2 Codes Used in the Tables (H) Found to the left of an institution's name "(H)" identifies the school as an institution of higher education. That is, the institution is accredited at the college level by an agency or association recognized by the Secretary, U.S. Department of Education. Many institutions reported a combined room and board charge. The combined charge is listed * under "Room" and an asterisk (*) is entered under "Board." Combined charges were not included as part of the calculation of state averages. ** Institutions with a double asterisk (**) to the right of their name did not respond to any of the items on student charges. Almost half of these institutions were total nonrespondents to the 1992- 93 "Institutional Characteristics" survey which collected these data. The remaining schools responded to the survey but id not answer any of the items on student charges in this report. The items on student charges in this report were not applicable to some schools because they offer only first-professional programs'. Tuition charges for first-professional students are found in table 4, and are included in this report for the first time. *** Institutions with a triple asterisk (***) to the right of their name reported tuition and required fees for in-district students that were at least 10 percent lower than the charge to in-state students. Only tables 2 and 3 carry this code, as in-district charges are generally a phenomenon of public 2-year and public less-than-2-year schools. Found to the right of a state name or other area, "(#)" indicates that no postsecondary institutions (#) were identified at the 4-year, 2-year, or public less-than-2-year level. Although there may be such institutions in the state or area, they must respond to the "Institutional Characteristics" survey before they can be included in the universe of postsecondary institutions maintained by the National Center for Education Statistics. (Institutions that did not respond to the "Institutional Characteristics" survey were verified to be in operation during the 1992-93 school year.) Found to the right of the institution's name, "$$" indicates that the school has one charge that $$ includes tuition, fees, room, and board. A "V" in the number of meals per week column means that this number varies by student or by V meal plan. @ Found to the right of the institution's name, the "@" denotes the institution indicated there were no full-time students enrolled, thus no tuition data were to be reported. Indicates that the state average is the average of respondent institutions only. It will differ from + the state average for all institutions to the degree that respondents are not representative of nonrespondents. 'Examples of first-professional programs include medicine (M.D. degree), law (the LL.B. or J.D. degrees), dentistry, pharmacy, and theology (the M.Div., M.H.L., B.D. degrees, or Ordination), as wcl' as first-professional certificates (post-degree) in these fields. 3
