Notes: All monetary figures are in real $2007 and are weighted by total undergraduate enrollment. All per student means are per total enrollment. Graduation rates are for BA degrees within six years of initial enrollment. SAT scores and graduation rates are reported only for a small percentage of two-year schools. Because of the open-admission mandate of community colleges and the fact that many students do not intend to obtain a BA, we do not report means for SAT scores and graduation rates for these schools.
