Postsecondary Institutions and Price of Attendance in 2012-13; Degrees and Other Awards Conferred: 2011-12; and 12-Month Enrollment: 2011-12: First Look (Preliminary Data)

This report from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) offers preliminary enrollment and degree attainment data for colleges and universities for the 2011-12 academic year and cost of attendance data for the current fiscal year.  Selected findings report that average tuition at public and nonprofit 4-year institutions increased from 2010-11 to 2012-12, while tuition and fees decreased at for-profit-4-year institutions over the same period. Additionally, the data show that 46 percent of students receiving degrees at 4-year Title IV institutions were 18-24 years old and that most students completing degrees (at any type of institution) are women.
