How to Interpret the Tables

Calculations are enrollment-weighted and utilize only those institutions for which two consecutive years' worth of price and enrollment data are available.  Institutions do not necessarily provide cost data in all fields.  A dash (—) indicates that the number of institutions reporting data on this item was too small to support an analysis.  A blank indicates that the data are not generally applicable for the type of institution.  An asterisk (*) following an average indicates that while the number of institutions reporting data on this item was large enough to support an analysis, the sample size was marginal.
