Numbers are for degree-seeking undergraduate students and graduate students enrolled in the fall of 2015.

Graduate Student:
A student that holds a bachelor's degree or equivalent, and is taking courses at the post-baccalaureate level.  Students formerly designated as first-professional students are now captured in the graduate student enrollment numbers.

Percentages are for degree-seeking undergraduates enrolled in the fall of 2015. These are categories developed by the Federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) that are used to describe groups to which individuals belong, identify with, or belong in the eyes of the community, and are the categories used by institutions when reporting data on race/ethnicity to the federal government. The categories do not denote scientific definitions of anthropological origins. An individual is counted in only one group by the institution.

Race/Ethnicity Unknown
This category is used ONLY if the student did not select a racial/ethnic designation when asked by the institution, AND the Institution finds it impossible to place the student in one of the racial/ethnic categories during established enrollment procedures or in any post-enrollment identification or verification process. This is a category developed by the Federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and is used by institutions when reporting data on race/ethnicity to the federal government.

Nonresident Alien
Persons who are not citizens or nationals of the United States and who are in this country on a visa or temporary basis and do not have the right to remain indefinitely. This is the category “nonresident alien” developed by the Federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

White, Non-Hispanic/Latino 
A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, North Africa, or the Middle East (except those of Hispanic origin). This is a category developed by the Federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and is used by institutions when reporting data on race/ethnicity to the federal government. This category does not denote a scientific definition of anthropological origins.

Hispanic/Latino
A person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, Central or South American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race. This is a category developed by the Federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and is used by institutions when reporting data on race/ethnicity to the federal government. This category does not denote a scientific definition of anthropological origins.

Asian
A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian Subcontinent, including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam. This is a category developed by the Federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and is used by institutions when reporting data on race/ethnicity to the federal government. This category does not denote a scientific definition of anthropological origins.

American Indian/Alaska Native
A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South America (including Central America) who maintains cultural identification through tribal affiliation or community attachment. This is a category developed by the Federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and is used by institutions when reporting data on race/ethnicity to the federal government. This category does not denote a scientific definition of anthropological origins.

Black or African American
A person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa. This is a category developed by the Federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and is used by institutions when reporting data on race/ethnicity to the federal government. This category does not denote a scientific definition of anthropological origins.            

Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander
A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, or other Pacific Islands. This is a category developed by the Federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and is used by institutions when reporting data on race/ethnicity to the federal government.

Percentages are for full-time first-time bachelor’s (or equivalent) degree-seeking undergraduate students who entered this institution in the summer or fall of 2009 and completed their degree at this institution by the fall of 2015.

Within Four Years
Percent is for full-time first-time bachelor’s (or equivalent) degree-seeking undergraduate students who entered this institution in the fall of 2009 and completed their degree at this institution by the fall of 2013.

Within Five Years
Percent is for full-time first-time bachelor’s (or equivalent) degree-seeking undergraduate students who entered this institution in the fall of 2009 and completed their degree at this institution by the fall of 2014.

Within Six Years
Percent is for full-time first-time bachelor’s (or equivalent) degree-seeking undergraduate students who entered this institution in the fall of 2009 and completed their degree at this institution by the fall of 2015.

Numbers are for degrees awarded between July 1, 2014 and June 30, 2015.

Bachelor’s
Bachelor’s degrees are any degrees that normally require at least four but not more than five years of full-time equivalent college-level work. This includes ALL bachelor’s degrees awarded in a five-year cooperative (work-study plan) program which provides for alternate class attendance and employment in business, industry, or government and thus allows students to combine actual work experience with their college studies. Also, it includes bachelor’s degrees in which the normal four years of work are completed in three years.

Master’s
Master’s degrees require the successful completion of a program of study of at least the full-time equivalent of one but not more than two academic years of study beyond the bachelor’s degree. Some of these degrees, such as those in Theology (ex., M.Div., M.H.L./Rav) that were formerly classified as first-professional degrees, may require more than two full-time equivalent academic years of work.

Doctoral
Doctoral degrees are the highest award a student can earn for graduate study. There are three categories of Doctoral degrees:

1. Doctor's degree-research/scholarship: Requires advanced work beyond the master's level, including the preparation and defense of a dissertation based on original research, or the planning and execution of an original project demonstrating substantial artistic or scholarly achievement.
2. Doctor's degree-professional practice: A doctor's degree that is conferred upon completion of a program providing the knowledge and skills for the recognition, credential, or license required for professional practice.  The degree is awarded after a period of study such that the total time to the degree, including both pre-professional and professional preparation, equals at least six full-time equivalent academic years.  Some of these degrees were formerly classified as first-professional and may include: Chiropractic (D.C. or D.C.M.); Dentistry (D.D.S. OR D.M.D.); Law (L.L.B. or J.D.); Medicine (M.D.); Optometry (O.D.); Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.); Pharmacy (Pharm.D.); Podiatry (D.P.M., Pod.D., D.P.); or, Vetrinary Medicine (D.V.M.), and others, as designated by the awarding institution.
3. Doctor's degree-other: A doctor's degree that does not meet the definition of a doctor's degree-research/scholarship or a doctor's degree-professional practice.

Numbers are estimates only for full-time undergraduate students living on campus in academic year 2015-16.

Other Expenses
These expenses include average costs for a typical full-time undergraduate student living on campus, for clothing, laundry, entertainment, medical (if not a required fee), and furnishings.

Transportation
These costs include two round trips per year to the hometown of a typical full-time undergraduate student living on campus.

Books and Supplies
These costs include the average cost of books and supplies for a typical full-time undergraduate student living on campus. Unusual costs for special groups of students (for example, engineering or art majors) are not included unless they constitute a majority of the students at the institution.

Room & Board
This figure assumes double occupancy in institutional housing and 19 meals per week (or the maximum meal plan).

Tuition & Fees
This figure represents typical tuition for a full-time undergraduate student for the full academic year (generally September to June) plus required fees or those charges that all full-time students must pay that are not included in tuition (for example, registration, health, or activity fees). Optional fees such as parking and laboratory use are not included.

Percentages are for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students enrolled in fall 2014.

Federal Grants
These monies include Pell Grants and Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants made by the U.S. Department of Education as well as need-based and merit-based educational assistance funds and training vouchers from other federal agencies.

State/Local Grants
These monies include grants provided by the state to the institution through the LEAP program as well as state merit scholarships and tuition and fee waivers. Local grants are any local government grants, scholarship, or gift-aid awarded directly to the student.

Institutional Grants
These monies include scholarships and fellowships funded by the institution and/or individual departments. Also included are tuition and fee waivers and athletic scholarships from the institution.

Student Loans
These monies include subsidized and unsubsidized loans made directly to the student, including Perkins Loans. Also included are institutionally- and privately-sponsored loans for which the student is the designated borrower and funds go through the institution. PLUS and other loans for which the parent is the designated borrower are excluded.

An institution's Net Price Calculator provides an individualized estimate of the net price of attendance for a first-time, full-time aided undergraduate at that institution.  The federal definition of net price is as follows: an institution's cost of attendance for first-time, full-time undergraduate students less the total need- and merit-based federal, state and institutional grant aid awarded (i.e., monetary awards that do not have to be paid back) divided by the number of first-time, full-time undergraduate students receiving such aid. 

The estimates generated by an institution's Net Price Calculator do not represent a final determination, or actual award, of financial assistance or a final net price; they are only estimates. 

Student Faculty Ratio
Ratios are for full-time equivalent students to full-time equivalent instructional faculty for the fall of 2015. Full-time equivalent equals all the full-time individuals plus one-third of the part-time individuals. Faculty and students in stand-alone graduate programs such as medicine, law, veterinary, dentistry, social work, business, or public health in which faculty teach virtually only graduate level students are not included in the ratio calculations. Undergraduate or graduate student teaching assistants are not included as faculty.

Full-Time Faculty with Highest Degree
Full-time instructional faculty in the fall of 2015 who held a doctorate, first professional, or the highest degree available in their field. Instructional faculty is defined as those members of the instructional-research staff whose major regular assignment is instruction, including those with released time for research.

Undergraduate Class Size
This table reports on the number of classes by class size that was offered in the fall of 2015.
