Higher Education: New Report Releases Data on Postsecondary Tuition, Fees, and Degrees in United States

June 5, 2018 by Gary Price

From the National Center for Education Statistics:

2018-06-05_15-39-45Between 2014-15 and 2016-17, the average tuition and required fees at 4-year public institutions increased more than 2 percent for both in-state and out-of-state students (after adjusting for inflation). During that same time period, tuition and required fees increased about 3 percent at 4-year nonprofit institutions and decreased about 1 percent at for-profit institutions.
The National Center for Education Statistics released a new First Look report today (June 5) that presents preliminary data findings from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) fall 2017 collection.
This collection included three survey components: Institutional Characteristics for the 2017-18 academic year, Completions covering the period July 1, 2016, through June 30, 2017, and data on 12-Month Enrollment for the 2016-17 academic year.
Other findings include:
In 2017-18, there were 6,642 Title IV institutions in the United States and other U.S. jurisdictions— 2,902 were classified as 4-year institutions, 1,932 were 2-year institutions, and the remaining 1,808 were less-than-2-year institutions;
Of the roughly 3.3 million students receiving degrees or certificates at 4-year Title IV degree-granting institutions, more than 58 percent received a bachelor’s degree. This percentage varied by control of institution, with about 64 percent of the 2.0 million students at public institutions receiving a bachelor’s degree, roughly 53 percent of the 1.1 million students at nonprofit institutions receiving a bachelor’s degree, and about 41 percent of the 277,000 students at for-profit institutions receiving a bachelor’s degree;
Institutions reported a 12-month unduplicated headcount enrollment of about 26.7 million individual students. Of these, roughly 22.9 million were undergraduates and approximately 3.8 million were graduate students.
