College Costs Trend Tables Released

The following NCES publication was released on March 12, 2013: College Costs – A Decade of Change: 2002-03 to 2011-12. These Web Tables use IPEDS data to provide trends in tuition and required fees, cost of attendance, and net price for each of the nine combinations of control and level of institution. The tables present average tuition and required fee charges for full-time undergraduate students in each year from 2002-03 to 2011-12, annual percentage change, and the ten-year percentage change by control and level of institution. The NCES publication number is: 2013170. It is available from the NCES publication page at: http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/.
