Undergraduate full-time tuition, required fees, room and board List the typical tuition, required fees, and room and board for a full-time undergraduate
student for the FULL 2009-2010 academic year (30 semester or 45 quarter hours for institutions that derive annual tuition by multiplying credit hour
cost by number of credits). A full academic year refers to the period of time generally extending from September to June; usually equated to two
semesters, two trimesters, three quarters, or the period covered by a four-one-four plan. Room and board is defined as double occupancy and 19
meals per week or the maximum meal plan. Required fees include only charges that all full-time students must pay that are not included in tuition (e.g.,
registration, health, or activity fees.) Do not include optional fees (e.g., parking, laboratory use).

Using the above definitions, please report for each of the following class-size intervals the number of class sections and class subsections offered in Fall
2008. For example, a lecture class with 800 students who met at another time in 40 separate labs with 20 students should be counted once in the “100+”
column in the class section column and 40 times under the “20-29” column of the class subsections table.
Number of Class Sections with Undergraduates Enrolled
Report the Fall 2008 ratio of full-time equivalent students (full-time plus 1/3 part time) to full-time equivalent instructional faculty (full time plus 1/3 part
time). In the ratio calculations, exclude both faculty and students in stand-alone graduate or professional programs such as medicine, law, veterinary,
dentistry, social work, business, or public health in which faculty teach virtually only graduate-level students. Do not count undergraduate or graduate
student teaching assistants as faculty.

Degrees conferred between July 1, 2007 and June 30, 2008
For each of the following discipline areas, provide the percentage of diplomas/certificates, associate, and bachelor’s degrees awarded. To determine the
percentage, use majors, not headcount (e.g., students with one degree but a double major will be represented twice). Calculate the percentage from your
institution’s IPEDS Completions by using the sum of 1st and 2nd majors for each CIP code as the numerator and the sum of the Grand Total by 1st Majors
and the Grand Total by 2nd major as the denominator. If you prefer, you can compute the percentages using 1st majors only.
