Net price
That cost minus the average grant and scholarship aid, 2024-25. What a family pays depends on income: every school's own net price calculator gives a personal estimate.
Completion
Share of full-time, first-time students who completed a degree or certificate at the school within 150% of normal time: at four-year schools, students who started in fall 2019 (or the 2019-20 year); at other schools, fall 2022 (or 2022-23). Rounded to a whole percent.
Fields and doctorates
From the awards each school reported to NCES IPEDS for 2023-24 (July 2023 – June 2024, first majors), grouped into CIP 2020 families; the level shown is the highest award made in that family that year. A school that made no award in a field that year is not listed for it.
