Tuition and fees

From NCES’s 2024–25 IPEDS collection.

The published price, before any grant or scholarship: what a student is charged, not what a student pays. Each NCES release restates the years before it, so all of these are from the one release.

Faculty pay

From NCES’s 2024–25 IPEDS collection.

Full-time, non-medical instructional staff as of November 1. NCES equates 10-, 11- and 12-month contracts to nine months and averages base salary only; supplements and stipends are excluded. Ranks are the college’s own, and the newest collection is provisional.
