¹ The response rate for this item is 66.7 percent.

NOTE: Price data for 2003-04 are not imputed. The item response rates for all cells for 2003-04 range from 92.6 percent to 100.0 percent, except where indicated. Amounts are institutional averages, not average amounts paid by students (i.e., charges are not weighted by enrollment). Out-of-state average tuition and required fees were used for private institutions that reported varying tuitions by residency. Institutions that report tuitions by program are not included. All amounts are in current dollars. Due to natural disaster, 22 institutions were unable to respond to this survey; their data were not imputed, and they are not represented in this table.
