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

²For public institutions, “in-district” refers to the charges paid by a student who lives in the locality surrounding the institution, such as a county. In-district and in-state charges did not differ for 83.8 percent of public institutions included in this table.

³Tuition 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. United States includes the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The U.S. Naval Academy, the U.S. Military Academy, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, and the U.S. Air Force Academy are not Title IV eligible but are included in the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) universe because they are federally funded and open to the public; they are not included in this table. The U.S. Merchant Marine Academy is Title IV eligible and is 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 tables 8, 9, and 10 that apply only to full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates. Institutions with academic calendars that differ by program or allow continuous enrollment are not included in this table. Definitions for terms used in this table may be found in the collection year's archived downloadable glossary located at https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/use-the-data/annual-survey-forms-packages-archived?year=2022.
