1 Preliminary first-professional tuition average based on 2007-08 degrees. | ||||||||||||
2 Data are based on in-state tuition only. | ||||||||||||
NOTE: Average graduate student tuition weighted by fall full-time-equivalent graduate enrollment. Average first-professional student tuition weighted by number of degrees conferred during the academic year. Some year-to-year fluctuations in tuition data may reflect nonreporting by individual institutions. Excludes institutions not reporting degrees conferred and institutions not reporting tuition. Data through 1995-96 are for institutions of higher education, while later data are for degree-granting institutions. Degree-granting institutions grant associate’s or higher degrees and participate in Title IV federal financial aid programs. The degree-granting classification is very similar to the earlier higher education classification, but it includes more 2-year colleges and excludes a few higher education institutions that did not grant degrees. (See Appendix A: Guide to Sources for details.) Some data have been revised from previously published figures. | ||||||||||||
