College Costswas prepared by the National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Departmentof Education, and is basedon data collected during the 1988-89 schoolyear from more than 4,000 public and private colleges and universities. The survey of institutional characteristicswas mailed to the schools in August 1988, and this book reflectsresponses received from the institutions as of May 1989. Schools were asked to provide the typical tuitionand fees required of full-time students for the academic year 1988-89. In-Stateand out-of-State charges for full-time undergraduate and graduate studentsare given where they apply, as are charges for room and board. When a board chargeappears, we have also provided the number of meals per week for which the board charge isapplicable. The data thatappear in this publication are presentedas reported by the institution and have not been edited. This booklet is intendedto act only as a guide to determining tuition,room, and board charges. When selecting prospectiveinstitutions, studentsare urged to seek other sources of information about the collegesor universities of their choice. Many other references are available, anda good starting point is your schoolor local public library. Consulting a guidance orcareer counselor is also recommended. The Directory of Postsecondary Institutions,also published by the Center, should be available for reference atyour local or school library. The Directory listsmore than 12,000 postsecondary schools in the UnitedStates and its outlyingareas and provides such basic institutional dataas address, telephone number, types ofprograms offered, enrollment size, and highest level of offering.Once you have narrowedyour selection, contact each college directly fora catalog, which should incl.-1de updated tuition information as wellas other costs, and an application form. Samuel S. Peng William H. Freund Director Chief Postsecondary Education General Surveys and Statistics Division Analysis Branch HOW TO USE THIS; BOOK This book presents tuition and fees information and also roomand board charges for nearly 4,000 schools.It provides an indication of what a typical student should expect to pay to attend college andshould be used for comparison purposes onlynot as a quote of actual costs.It is recognized that tuition and required fees are not the samefor all students attending an institution. These figures may varydepending on the student's level or the program in which the student is enrolled, and they do notnecessarily include all charges to students. The data presented in this book have not been edited; they areshown as reported by the institutions. Blanks indicate that no data were reported; thus, ablank in the room column may mean either that there are no dormitory facilitiesavailable or simply that the institution failed to respond to the question. Zerosindicate an actual reported response. For /Pic convemonce of the user, College Costs is divided into twosections:the first section deals strictly with institutions offering programs of at least 2 yearsbut less than 4-years' duration; the second section lists institutions offering a bachelor'sdegree or higher. Schools are listed alphabetically by State within each section.Following each State is the State average for each category, based on the number ofinstitutions reporting such charges. Accreditation (H) Institutions identified by an "(H)" to the left of their names are those that areaccredited at the college level by an agency or association recognizedby the U.S. Secretary of Education. Tuition and Required Fees Institutions were asked to provide tuition charges for a typical undergraduateand/or graduate student attending full time. They include all fixed sum chargeswhich are required of such a large proportion of all students that the student who does not paythe charge is an exception; no optional charges are included. Therefore,this figure does not include such items as books, lab fees, or transportation expenses. Many public schools have different charges for in-State and out-of-State students, and both are provided here for greater utility.Private school tuition charges are for in-State students if the charge varies. Room This figure is intended to provide the academic year charge to a typicalfull-time student sharing a room with one other student. Arrangements for graduate studentsand married students may vary from those of undergraduates. iv Board and Meals per Week If the institution offersa standard meal plan, the board charges were to be reported for a full academic year. Included is the number of mealsper week for which the board charge is applicable. Pleasenote that in many instances, this figure is onlyan estimate of what a studentcan expect to pay. Institutions are increasingly offering alternative meal plans such as allowing the studentto purchase a "ticket" for a set amount, and then charging their meals against it. Many2-year schools do not offer meal plans, butmay have a cafeteria where foodcan be purchased. 2-Year Institutions Basic student charges at 2-year postsecondary education institutions, 1988-89 Tuition and required fees State and institution Public Meals per Private In-StateI Out -of -State Room Board week for student student board Dollars Alabama (H) Alabama Aviation And Tech Col 810 1,410 920 (H) Alexander City State Jr Col 600 1,050 Atmore State Technical Col 800 1,400 (H) Bessemer State Tech Col 800 1,400 (H) Brewer State Junior Col 600 1,200 (H) C A Fredd State Tech Col 800 1,600 (H) Carver State Tech Col 600 1,200 (It) Chattahoochee Valley C C 600 1,050 (H) Chauncey Sparks St Tech C 600 1,050 (H) Comm Col Of The Air Force 0 0 0 0 21 (H) Concordia College 3,087 1,064 1,732 21 Coosa Valley Med Cntr Sch Nur 1,881 (H) Douglas Macarthur St Tech Col 810 1,410 (H) Draughons Junior College 3,175 (H)Enterprise State Junior Col 600 1,050 (H) Faulkner State Junior Col 600 1,050 675 1,050 15 (H) Gadsden State Community Col 600 1,150 (H) George C Wallace
