NOTE: Data are for the entire academic year and are average charges paid by students. Student charges were weighted by the number of full-time-equivalent undergraduates, but were not adjusted to reflect student residency. The data have not been adjusted for changes in the purchasing power of the dollar. Data for 2000-01 are preliminary figures based on fall 1999 enrollment. Data for 1999 enrollments imputed using alternative procedures. (See Guide to Sources for details.) Some data have been revised from previously published figures.
