NCES Releases New Data on Postsecondary Tuition, Fees and Degrees

[2011250]Between 2001-02 and 2010-11, the average tuition and required fees at 4-year public institutions (after adjusting for inflation) increased more for in-state students (47 percent increase) than for out-of-state students (35 percent increase). Also, 4-year nonprofit institutions increased at a higher percentage than for-profit institutions (31 percent compared to 18 percent) during that same time period. This First Look, Postsecondary Institutions and Price of Attendance in the United States: 2010-11, Degrees and Other Awards Conferred: 2009-10, and 12-Month Enrollment: 2009-10, presents findings from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) fall 2010 data collection. The data collection, which included three survey components: institutional characteristics for 2010-11 such as degrees offered, type of program, application information, and tuition and other costs; the number and type of degrees conferred from July 2009 through June 2010; and 12-month enrollment data for the 2009-10 academic year.

Other findings include:

* Among 4-year institutions, nonprofit institutions reported the highest average price of attendance during 2010-11 for students living on campus (approximately $35,700), roughly $800 higher than the average for for-profit institutions (about $34,900). Public institutions reported an average price of attendance of approximately $19,500 for in-state students living on campus and $28,900 for out-of-state students living on campus.

* Institutions reported conferring about 4.3 million postsecondary awards (degrees or certificates). About 886,000 were less-than-2-year certificates, 900,000 were associate's degrees or at-least-2-but-less-than-4-year certificates, 1.7 million were bachelor's degrees, and 902,000 were post-baccalaureate awards.

* Institutions reported a 12-month unduplicated headcount enrollment totaling about 28.9 million individual students. Of these, roughly 25.1 million were undergraduates and approximately 3.8 million were graduate students.
