DC 20402-9325 ISBN 0-16-038237-8 f 4 Foreword This report lists the typical tuition and required fees and room and board charges for academic year 1991-92 at nearly 4,900 4-year, 2-year, and public less-than-2-year postsecondary institutions (collegiate and non-collegiate) in the United States and its outlying areas. Included are tuition and fee charges to 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 meals per week covered by the board charge. This information should be especially helpful to students, guidance counselors, and parents in evaluating the basic costs of attending specific postsecondary schools. For additional information, such as the availability of student fmancial aid or the programs of study offered at specific institutions, one should consult other postsecondary guides. A school or local public library should have reference materials on postsecondary institutions and on student financial assistance readily available.' Once 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 1991-92 Institutional Characteristics Survey conducted annually by NCES as part of its Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System.
