[1] Average annual increases in tuition and fees are presented with and without California (w/o CA). [2] California institutions were excluded from all calculations because the large number of two-year colleges and the historically low matriculation fee structure distort regional patterns. South Dakota has no state-supported two-year institutions.[3] The Consumer Price Index (CPI) reflects changes in the price of a fixed basket of goods and services that are purchased by consumers in general. The CPI in Table 1 is the Consumer Price Index--Urban (August to August) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

[ 1] All undergraduate and graduate students taking nine or more credits, all students living in university housing, and all students paying the Health Center fee must be covered by a health insurance plan. The student health insurance fee in 2001-02 is approximately $250 per semester. However, students who are covered by an alternative health insurance plan may waive the student health insurance plan.[ 2] The state of California reduced the State University Fee effective 1998-99 and 1999-00 academic years for resident undergraduate stu[ 3] California State University, Monterey Bay opened in 1995-96.[ 4] California State University, San Marcos opened in 1991-92.[ 5] Undergraduate students at the University of California are required to show proof of health insurance, effective Fall 2001. Undergraduates totals do not include waivable health insurance fees: for Berkeley, add $460; for Davis, add $500; for Irvine, add $498; for Los Angeles, add $534; for Riverside, add $495; for San Diego, add $489; for San Francisco, add $936; for Santa Barbara, add $459; for Santa Cruz, add $429.[ 6] Higher rates apply to certain fields.[ 7] Upper division undergraduate students pay a higher tuition rate.[ 8] University of Colorado Health Sciences Center has separate tuition rates for each field.[ 9] Tuition and fees for upper division undergraduates are reported; lower division undergraduate rates for 2001-02 are $1,562.[10] The lower divison rate for a full-time student is reported here. For 2001-02, upper divison students paid $3,214 at Montana State University, Northern; $3,767 at Montana Tech of the University of Montana, $3,775 at the University of Montana, Missoula, and $3,307 at Western Montana College of the University of Montana.[11] Great Basin College has begun offering select 4-year degrees since academic year 1999-2000. The tuition indicated is for full-time upper-division classes.[12] July 1, 1995, Oregon Health Sciences University left the Oregon System of Higher Education to become an independent public corporation and set its own tuition. Because of this change and because it has separate rates for each field, it is no longer reported here.[13] Reflects main campus tuition at the University of Washington.

Source: Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education. 2001.[ 1] All undergraduate and graduate students taking nine or more credits, all students living in university housing, and all students paying the Health Center fee must be covered by a health insurance plan. The student health insurance fee in 2001-02 is approximately $250 per semester. However, students who are covered by an alternative health insurance plan may waive the student health insurance plan. [ 2] Arizona charges additional required fees per student for law, nursing, and selected master's degree programs.[ 3] Fees at California State University and University of California institutions declined systemwide in 1998-99 and 1999-00.[ 4] California State University, Monterey Bay opened in 1995-96.[ 5] California State University, San Marcos opened in 1991-92.[ 6] Mesa State College has started a new business administration program since Fall 1997.[ 7] Higher rates apply to certain fields.[ 8] Amounts reported are for 15 credit hours based on a per-credit-hour rate. The typical "full-time" graduate course load at Colorado Springs is nine credit hours.[ 9] University of Colorado Health Sciences Center has separate tuition rates for each field.[10] Graduate rates at the University of Hawaii, Hilo were established in 1998-99.[11] In Montana, graduate students taking a "minimum" full-time course load of nine credit hours pay lower tuition than students taking a "typical" full-time load of 12 credit hours. Tuition for a "typical" full-time load is reported.[12] July 1, 1995, Oregon Health Sciences University left the Oregon System of Higher Education to become an independent public corporation and set its own tuition. Because of this change and because it has separate rates for each field, it is no longer being reported here.[13] Oregon Institute of Technology has started offering a master's degree program since 1995-96.

[ 1] All undergraduate and graduate students taking nine or more credits, all students living in university housing, and all students paying the Health Center fee must be covered by a health insurance plan. The student health insurance fee in 2001-02 is approximately $250 per semester. However, students who are covered by an alternative health insurance plan may waive the student health insurance plan.[ 2] Northern Arizona University nonresident tuition for 2001-02 increased to the same level as Arizona State University and University of Arizona for new students starting Fall 2001. Existing students are grandfathered at lower rates which are $9,328 for 2001-02.[ 3] California State University nonresident tuition is $246 per unit at semester campuses and $164 per unit at quarter campuses. The total charge per academic year is $7,380 plus the State University Fee and campus-based mandatory fees.[ 4] California State University, Monterey Bay opened in 1995-96.[ 5] California State University, San Marcos opened in 1991-92.[ 6] Undergraduate students at the University of California are required to show proof of health insurance, effective Fall 2001. Undergraduates totals do not include waivable health insurance fees: for Berkeley, add $460; for Davis, add $500; for Irvine, add $498; for Los Angeles, add $534; for Riverside, add $495; for San Diego, add $489; for San Francisco, add $936; for Santa Barbara, add $459; for Santa Cruz, add $429.[ 7] Higher rates apply to certain fields. [ 8] Upper division undergraduate students pay a higher tuition rate.[ 9] University of Colorado Health Sciences Center has separate tuition rates for each field.[10] Tuition and fees for upper division undergraduates are reported; lower division undergraduate rates for 2001-02 are $7,178.[11] The lower divison rate for a full-time student is reported here. For academic year 2001-02, upper divison students paid $9,289 at Montana State University, Northern; $10,648 at Montana Tech of the University of Montana; $10,160 at the University of Montana, Missoula; and $8,955 at Western Montana College of the University of Montana.[12] Great Basin College began offering select 4-year degrees in academic year 1999-2000. This tuition indicated is for full-time upper-division classes.[13] July 1, 1995, Oregon Health Sciences University left the Oregon System of Higher Education to become an independent public corporation and set its own tuition. Because of this change and because it has separate rates for each field, it is no longer being reported here.[14] The nonresident tuition differential at Dakota State University was reduced between 1988-89 and 1994-95.

The typical "full-time" graduate course load at Colorado Springs is nine credit hours.[10] University of Colorado Health Sciences Center has separate tuition rates for each field.[11] Graduate rates for the University of Hawaii, Hilo were established in 1998-99.[12] In Montana, graduate students taking a "minimum" full-time course load of nine credit hours pay lower tuition than students taking a "typical" full-time load of 12 credit hours. Tuition for a "typical" full-time load is reported.[13] The regional colleges were awarded university status in 1996-97.[14] July 1, 1995, Oregon Health Sciences University left the Oregon System of Higher Education to become an independent public corporation and set its own tuition. Because of this change and because it has separate rates for each field, it is no longer being reported here.[15] Oregon Institute of Technology started offering a master's degree program in 1995-96.

[ 1] In 2001-02 students in lower division courses at Prince William Sound pay $68 per credit hour and students in upper division courses pay $90 per credit hour with no limit on the number of credit hours. The figures reported here assume a lower division cours load of 30 credit hours for two semesters.[ 2] In 1996-97, tuition increased at Mohave Community College and Yavapai College to bring revenues more in line with actual costs.[ 3] Northland Pioneer increased tuition between 1987-88 and 1997-98 to be more in line with comparable institutions.[ 4] Yavapai uses a variable pricing system for per unit charge. Tuition and fees for the first 6-12 credits each term will increase under the new formula while it will go down for 15 credit hours per semester. The figures reported here assume a course load of 30 credit hours for two semesters.[ 5] For 2001-02, the enrollment fee remains at $11 per unit with no cap on the total. Currently, the total enrollment fee for full-time students taking 15 units per semester is $330 per year.[ 6] Northeastern Junior College joined the State Board of Community Colleges in 1997-98 and Colorado Northwestern Community College joined in 1999-2000.

[ 9] Great Basin College was formerly Northern Nevada Community College.[10] Tuition rates reported for Albuquerque Vocational-Technical Institute are for academic program students.[11] Beginning in 1991-92, tuition rates reported for Luna Vocational-Technical Institute are for academic program students.[12] Beginning in 1994-95, tuition rates reported for mesa Technical College (formerly Tucmcari Area Vocational School) are for academic program students.[13] New Mexico Junior College tuition was lowered in 1996-97 in an agreement with the local community.[14] New Mexico Military Institute figures are for tuition and required fees and do not include boarding charges (all students are required to live on campus).[15] Tuition and fee rates that are reflected for Bismark State College in the table assume a full-time load of 15 credits per semester.[16] Lake Region State College was formerly the University of North Dakota, Lake Region; Williston State College was formerly the University of North Dakota, Williston. These name changes occurred in July 1999.[17] As of 1992-93, tuition and fee data reported for Oregon are based on the rate for students taking 15 credit hours per semester. In prior years, data were reported based on each college's definition of a full-time student. Therefore, data from 1992-93 forward are not comparable with data reported in previous years. Many out-of-state students qualify for resident in-district rates by the start of their second term which reduces their tuition costs from that point forward.[18] Clatsop Community College capped charges at 12 credit hours prior to 1997-98. [19] Klamath Community College began operations Summer Term 1996.[20] Oregon Coast Community College is accredited through Chemeketa Community College.[21] District policy for Southwestern Oregon Community College allows a person to obtain residency in the district after residing in the district for 90 or more days.[22] Tillamook Bay Community College is accredited through Portland Community College.[23] Cascadia Community College opened in academic year 2000-01.[24] Pierce College now has two campuses: Pierce College, Ft. Steilacom and Pierce College, Puyallup.[25] Previously reported as Sheridan College in this annual report. Northern Wyoming Community College District incorporates Sheridan College and the outreach Gillette Campus.

[ 1] Mohave Community College is not included in the Arizona average because it has had no out-of-district students for several years.[ 2] As of 1992-93, tuition and fee data reported for Oregon are based on the rate for students taking 15 credit hours per semester. In prior years, data were reported based on each college's definition of a full-time student. Therefore, data from 1992-93 forward are not comparable with data reported in previous years.[ 3] California institutions were excluded from all calculations because the large number of two-year colleges and the historically low matriculation fee structure distort regional patterns. [ 4] South Dakota has no state-supported two-year colleges.

[ 1] Two-year institutions in these states charge the same tuition and fees for resident out-of-district/county and resident in-district/county students. See resident in-district tuition table for charges at individual institutions.[ 2] Out-of-county students in Arizona's community colleges pay in-county rates. However, each out-of-county student's county board of supervisors pays an out-of-county differential based on enrollments in prior years and the current year's rate. The figures reported in this table are the out-of-county differentials. Increases and decreases are linked to a statutory formula which causes tuition to vary from year to year.[ 3] Coconino County Community College opened in academic year 1994-95. [ 4] Mohave Community College did not have any students from out-of-district counties in the years displayed, therefore no out-of-county differential was calculated.[ 5] Northeastern Junior College joined the State Board of Community Colleges in 1997-98 and Colorado Northwestern Community College joined in 1999-2000. Tuition and fees were adjusted to be consistent with other members of the State Board of Community Colleges.[ 6] Out-of-county students in Idaho pay in-county rates. The student's county pays an out-of-county differential equal to the difference between in-county rates and out-of-county tuition and fees. The figures reported in this table are total out-of-county tuition and fees.[ 7] Beginning in 1991-92, tuition rates reported for Luna Vocational-Technical Institute are for academic program students.



[ 8] Beginning in 1994-95, tuition rates reported for Mesa Technical College (formerly Tucumcari Area Vocational School) are for academic program students.[ 9] New Mexico Junior College tuition was lowered in 1996-97 in an agreement with the local community.[10] New Mexico Military Institute figures are for tuition and required fees and do not include boarding charges (all students are required to live on campus).[11] As of 1992-93, tuition and fee data reported for Oregon are based on the rate for students taking 15 credit hours. In prior years, data were reported based on each college's definition of a full-time student. Therefore, data from 1992-93 forward are not comparable with data reported in previous years. Many out-of-state students qualify for resident in-district rates by the start of their second term which reduces their tuition costs from that point forward.[12] Clatsop Community College capped charges at 12 credit hours prior to 1997-98.[13] For 1999-00, the out-of-district rate for Columbia Gorge Community College was lowered to $1,890 a year to enhance enrollments. [14] Klamath Community College began operations Summer Term 1996.[15] Oregon Coast Community College is accredited through Chemeketa Community College.[16] As of 1997-98, Rogue Community College no longer charges an out-of-district/county differential.[17] District policy for Southwestern Oregon Community College allows a person to obtain residency in the district after residing in the district for 90 or more days. [18] Tillamook Bay Community College is accredited through Portland Community College.

[ 1] Since 1999-00, Prince William Sound has charged the same tuition and fees for resident and out-of-state students.[ 2] Some California community colleges collect an additional nonresident fee from students who are citizens or residents of foreign countries; this fee is not included in the state average.[ 3] As of 1992-93, tuition and fee data reported for Oregon are based on the rate for students taking 15 credit hours. In prior years, data were reported based on each college's definition of a full-time student. Therefore, data from 1992-93 forward are not comparable with data reported in previous years.

[ 1] Since 1999-00, Prince William Sound has charged the same tuition and fees for resident and out-of-state students. In 2001-02 students in lower division courses at Prince William Sound pay $68 per credit hour and students in upper division courses pay $90 per credit hour with no limit on the number of credit hours. The figues reported here assume a course load of 30 credit hours for two semesters.[ 2] State policy requires that nonresident tuition recover 80 percent of operating expenses. Tuition was adjusted in 1996 and 1997 to bring these institutions into compliance.[ 3] Yavapai uses a variable pricing system for per unit charge. Tuition and fees for the first 6-12 credits each term will increase under the new formula while it will go down for 15 credit hours per semester. The figures reported here assume a lower division course load of 30 credit hours for two semesters.[ 4] The nonresident fees are set by each district and are charged in addition to the statewide enrollment fee.[ 5] These California colleges collect an additional nonresident fee from students who are citizens and residents of a foreign country; the fee is for capital outlay expenditures only. This fee may not exceed actual expenditures per FTE student in the prior fiscal year and may not exceed 50 percent of the regular nonresident fee. The fee varies for different campuses and ranges from $150 to $660 per year and is based on 30 credit hours.[ 6] Copper Mountain College opened in academic year 1999-2000.[ 7] Reedley College was fomerly Kings River Community College.[ 8] Santiago Canyon College was formerly Rancho Santiago College.[ 9] Northeastern Junior College joined the State Board of Community Colleges in 1997-98 and Colorado Northwestern Community College joined in 1999-2000.[10] Hawaii community college tuition is charged on a per-credit basis for all enrolled credits effective academic year 2001-02. The amount shown here is based on 12 enrolled credits. The per-credit rate for non-residents is $242. Student fees vary at each campus.[11] Great Basin College was formerly Northern Nevada Community College.[12] Tuition rates for Albuquerque Vocational-Technical Institute are for academic program students. [13] Since 1991-92, tuition rates for Luna Vocational-Technical Institute have been for academic program students.[14] Since 1994-95, tuition rates for Mesa Technical College (formerly Tucumcari Area Vocational School ) have been for academic program students only; previous out-of-district and nonresident rates were for vocational students.[15] New Mexico Military Institute figures are for tuition and required fees and do not include boarding charges (all students are required to live on campus).[16] Lake Region State College was formerly the University of North Dakota, Lake Region; Williston State College was formerly the University of North Dakota, Williston. These name changes occurred in July 1999.

[17] As of 1992-93, tuition and fee data reported for Oregon were based on the rate for students taking 15 credit hours. In prior years, data were reported based on each college's definition of a full-time student. Therefore, data from 1992-93 forward are not comparable with data reported in previous years. Also, many out-of-state students qualify for resident in-district rates by the start of their second term which reduces their tuition costs from that point forward.[18] Clatsop Community College capped charges at 12 credit hours prior to 1997-98.[19] For 1999-2000, Oregon nonresident rates were lowered to $1,890 because, as a border college, Columbia Gorge Community College had been charging Washington students the out-of-district rate.[20] Klamath Community College began operations Summer Term 1996.[21] Oregon Coast Community College is accredited through Chemeketa Community College.[22] Nonresident tuition was lowered at Rogue Community College in 1998-99 as a result of a new tuition reciprocity agreement with adjoining states.[23] District policy allows a person to obtain resident status after residing in the district for 90 or more days. Tuition was reduced to encourage nonresident enrollment in 1996-97.[24] Tillamook Bay Community College is accredited through Portland Community College.[25] Cascadia Community College opened in academic year 2000-01. It offered tuition waivers for out-of state students in 2001-02.[26] Pierce College now has two campuses: Pierce College, Ft. Steilacom and Pierce College, Puyallup.[27] Previously reported as Sheridan College in this annual report. Northern Wyoming Community College District incorporates Sheridan College and the outreach Gillette Campus.

APPENDICES

Appendix A The Carnegie Classification of Institutions of

Higher Education

Four-year institutions of higher education are classified using the 1994 edition of the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education. The 1994 classification scheme groups institutions on the basis of the highest level of degrees awarded, number of degrees awarded, level of federal research support (for research institutions), and selectivity of admissions (for baccalaureate institutions). Two significant changes were made to the classification scheme. First, the comprehensive category was renamed "Master's (Comprehensive)." It includes institutions awarding both bachelor's and master's degrees. Institutions are classified as Master's I or Master's II based on the number of master's degrees awarded. Enrollment is no longer a factor. Second, the liberal arts category is now called "Baccalaureate (Liberal Arts)." Baccalaureate I and Baccalaureate II institutions are primarily undergraduate institutions that are distinguished based on the percent of degrees they award in the liberal arts and the selectivity of their admissions. The descriptions of the classifications that follow are taken from A Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, 1994 Edition (Carnegie Foundation, 1994). Research Universities I: These institutions offer a full range of baccalaureate programs, are committed to graduate education through the doctorate, and give high priority to research. They award 50 or more doctoral degrees each year.1 In addition, they receive annually $40 million in federal support.2 Research Universities II: These institutions offer a full range of baccalaureate programs, are committed to graduate education through the doctorate, and give high priority to research. They award 50 or more doctoral degrees each year. In addition, they receive annually between $15.5 million and $40 million in federal support. Doctoral Universities I: In addition to offering a full range of baccalaureate programs, the mission of these institutions includes a commitment to graduate education through the doctorate. They award at least 40 doctoral degrees annually in five or more disciplines. Doctoral Universities II: In addition to offering a full range of baccalaureate programs, the mission of these institutions includes a commitment to graduate education through the doctorate. They award at least 10 doctoral degrees annually in three or more disciplines, or 20 or more doctoral degrees in one or more disciplines. Master's (Comprehensive) Universities and Colleges I: These institutions offer a full range of baccalaureate programs and are committed to graduate education through the master's degree. They award 40 or more master's degrees annually in three or more disciplines.

1The years used for averaging the number of degrees awarded are 1988-89, 1989-90 and 1990-91. 2The years used in averaging annual federal support are 1989, 1990, and 1991.

Master's (Comprehensive) Universities and Colleges II: These institutions offer a full range of baccalaureate programs and are committed to graduate education through the master's degree. They award 20 or more master's degrees annually in one or more disciplines. Baccalaureate (Liberal Arts) Colleges I: These institutions are primarily undergraduate colleges with major emphasis on baccalaureate degree programs. They are selective in admissions and award 40 percent or more of their baccalaureate degrees in liberal arts fields.3 Baccalaureate (Liberal Arts) Colleges II: These institutions are primarily undergraduate colleges with major emphasis on baccalaureate degree programs. They are less selective in admissions or they award less than 40 percent of their baccalaureate degrees in liberal arts fields. Professional Schools and Specialized Institutions: These institutions offer degrees ranging from the bachelor's to the doctorate. At least 50 percent of the degrees awarded by these institutions are in a specialized field.4

3The liberal arts fields include: area and ethnic studies, English language and literature, foreign languages, letters, liberal and general studies, life sciences, mathematics, multi- and interdisciplinary studies, philosophy and religion, physical sciences, psychology, social sciences, and the visual and performing arts. 4Specialized institutions include: theological seminaries; medical schools, medical centers, and other specialized health profession schools; schools of engineering and technology; schools of business and management; schools of art, music, and design; law schools; teachers colleges; other specialized institutions; and tribal colleges.

Appendix C Procedure for Converting Current Dollars

To Constant Dollars

The Higher Education Price Index (HEPI) published by Research Associates of Washington was used in Tables 3 and 4 to adjust for the effects of inflation. The base year used for the constant dollar conversions is 1991.

The formula for the constant dollar conversion is: Constant dollars = tuition times {the ratio of HEPI base year vs. HEPI current year} For example, the procedure to convert average resident undergraduate tuition in 2001-02 shown in Table 3 to 1991 constant dollars is as follows: 2001-02 tuition in constant 1991 dollars = $2843 * 71.8% = $2,041

Appendix D Methodology

Since 1980, WICHE has collected tuition and fees data annually from public four-year and two-year institutions in its 15 member states. The data are provided by staff at system offices or at state higher education governing and coordinating board offices. Each year, the staff are asked to provide current tuition and fees data for resident and nonresident undergraduate, graduate, and professional students in public four-year colleges and universities, and for resident and nonresident students in public two-year colleges. In addition, staff are asked to verify and, if necessary, correct previously reported data. The 2001 survey was mailed to state governing and coordinating board staff in June 2001. Staff were asked to provide tuition and fees data for 2001-2002, and to verify and revise, if necessary, the reported data for 2000-01, 1996-97, and 1991-92. All surveys were returned by October 2001. The survey data were reviewed for possible errors, and problems were discussed with the staff in the appropriate office. This year's breakdown of institutions by Carnegie Classification used A Classification of Institutions of Higher Education: 1994 edition (Carnegie Foundation, 1994).
