This is the VOA Special English Education Report. Today we answer a question from a listener in Columbia. John Andersen wants to know the costs of undergraduate and graduate study in the United States. Well, the first thing to know is that the prices are difference from school to school. Private colleges and universities generally cost more than public ones. Another thing to keep in mind is that not all students pay a school’s published price. Financial add and scalar ships may reduce the cost. Here are a few numbers for this school year from the College Board organization. The average published price for undergraduate’s study at 4-year public college was about 7000 dollars that was for students from in state. Students from other states as well as international students pay the average of more than 18,000 dollars. This is bad news, international students often have to pay the highest prices. And these averages were only for tuition and fees. Food, housing, books and supplies can add 10 to 12 thousand dollars a year.The College Board says the average tuition at private college was about 26,000 dollars. Many students save money by starting their education at 2-year public college also know as the community college. The average tuition this year was about 2,500 dollars. A few American colleges provide a free education including the military and * academy. They accept some foreign students. * college is a small question school in * Contaki that pays all first year cost for it’s foreign students. But they are expect to pay 1,000 dollars a year after that. Some jobs are provided to help meet this cost. Cost for graduate’s study in the United States also differ from school to school, and even from program to program. Hereto, public universities charge more for out of state tuition. For example, at the University of Contaki, out of states graduate tuition averaged about 18,000 dollars this year. In state was about 9,000. American students often have to take out longs to help pay for their education. President Obama recently signed into law a bill that changes the students learn system. We have more on that next week. And international students can learn much more about studying in United States on our website. Look for the foreign student serious at VOA Special Englsih.
