NOTES:
Data in this table are based on institutions that provided tuition and fee and full-time undergraduate enrollment data to the survey in the two-year period.
Average tuition and fees are weighted by full-time undergraduate enrollment.
AASCU results include student charges data for Howard University, which is an AASCU member
institution but is not classified as a public four-year institution by the National Center for Education Statistics.
NASULGC results include student charges data for Tuskegee University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which
are NASULGC member institutions but are not classified as public four-year institutions by the National Center for Education Statistics.
Room and board charges are weighted by an estimated number of undergraduates in on-campus housing.
Insufficient data were available to calculate room and board charges for AASCU and NASULGC institutions.
