1 Constant dollars based on the Consumer Price Index, prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, adjusted to an academic-year basis. | |||||||||||||||
2 Average undergraduate tuition and fees are based on in-state students only. | |||||||||||||||
NOTE: Data in this table represent the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Data are for the entire academic year and are average charges for full-time students. Student charges were weighted by the number of full-time-equivalent undergraduates, but were not adjusted to reflect student residency. Degree-granting institutions grant associate’s or higher degrees and participate in Title IV federal financial aid programs. Student charges data for 2019-20 were collected prior to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic and therefore do not reflect any adjustments institutions might have made later in the academic year due to the pandemic. Some data have been revised from previously published figures. | |||||||||||||||
