NOTE: Data are for the entire academic year and are average charges paid by students. Student charges were weighted by the number of full-time-equivalent undergraduates, but were not adjusted to reflect student residency. The data have not been adjusted for changes in the purchasing power of the dollar. Data for 2002-03 are preliminary figures based on fall 2001 enrollment. Some data have been revised from previously published figures.
