This study presents findings from the preliminary data of
the IPEDS winter 2016-17 data collection, which included five survey components:
"Graduation Rates, 200 Percent Graduation Rates, Student Financial Aid,
Admissions", and "Outcome Measures." This "First Look"
provides users with access to IPEDS data soon after the close of data
collection. This report is based upon preliminary data that have not been
extensively reviewed or edited. The purpose of this report is to introduce new
data through tables containing descriptive information. The findings presented
here demonstrate the range of information available through IPEDS.
Key findings include:
-
Among
full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students awarded
any grant aid, differences in average cost of attendance and net price of
attendance for the 2015–16 academic year varied by institutional sector.
- For those attending public 4-year
institutions, average cost was approximately $19,600 and net price was about
$12,400
- For those attending nonprofit 4-year
institutions, average cost was roughly $39,500 and net price was about $22,200
- For those attending for-profit 4-year
institutions, average cost was approximately $27,900 and net price was about
$21,900.
