IX'20402-02N I SON 0-16-036129X 4 Foreword This report contains a comprehensive listing of basic student charges for academic year 1990-91 at more than 4,700 4-year, 2-year, and public less-than-2- year postsecondary institutions (collegiate and non-collegiate) in the United States and its outlying areas. Typical tuition and required fees are pravided for in-state and out-of-state students at the undergraduate and graduate levels, along with the costs for room and board, and the number of mealsper week covered by ehe board charge. Thisinformation should be especially helpful tostudents, guidance counselors, and parents in evaluating the basic costs of attendtng specific postsecondary schools. For additional information, such as the availability of student financial aid or the programs of study offered at specific institutions, one may wish to consult other postsecondary guides. A school or local public library isa good starting point and should have reference material on postsecondary institutions readily available.1Once a student has narrowed his or her selection to a few schools, each school should be contacted directly for a current catalog and application form. Before making a final decision on which school to attend, it is usually a good idea to tap the knowledge and expertise of a guidance or career counselor. "Basic Student Charges" was prepared by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), U.S. Department of Education.The data were collected through the 1990-91 "Institutional Characteristics" survey conducted annually by NCESas part of its Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System.
