U.S. Education Department Releases New Lists on College Cost
Do you know which public 4-year college has the highest tuition? Do you know which private 2-year college has the lowest net price? As The Chronicle of Higher Education noted today, the U.S. Department of Education just released new lists of the most expensive and least expensive U.S. colleges.
The new lists are based on tuition data from the 2012-2013 school year. The lists allow the public to view tuition and net prices for colleges that are public, private, 2-year, or 4-year institutions. The net price for a college is found by subtracting the average amount of financial aid from the total cost of attendance.
The lists about college tuition and net prices can be viewed at the College Affordability and Transparency Center.
