¹ Out-of-state average and median tuition and required fees were used for all private institutions.

² For public institutions, “in district” refers to the charges paid by a student who lives in the locality surrounding the institution, such as county.

³ Tuition and fee charges for graduate students do not include charges for programs designated as doctor’s degrees—professional practice.

NOTE: Title IV institutions are those with a written agreement with the U.S. Department of Education that allows the institution to participate in any of the Title IV federal student financial assistance programs. The four U.S. service academies that are not Title IV eligible are included in the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) universe because they are federally funded and open to the public. However, the U.S. service academies are not included in this table. Tuition and required fees are average institutional charges for all full-time students at the institution as reported by the institution, not average amounts paid by students (i.e., charges are not weighted by enrollment). These figures for undergraduates differ from the cost data in table 11 that apply only to full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates. The 2,633 institutions with academic calendars that differ by program or allow continuous enrollment are not included. Definitions for terms used in this table may be found in the IPEDS online glossary located at https://surveys.nces.ed.gov/ipeds/VisGlossaryAll.aspx. may be found in the IPEDS online glossary located at https://surveys.nces.ed.gov/ipeds/VisGlossaryAll.aspx.
