About higher education in Massachusetts
Massachusetts has 145 institutions in this directory, from large public research universities to small private and for-profit colleges. In-state tuition is usually far lower at public institutions, while private colleges charge the same sticker price regardless of residence — though most students receive institutional aid that lowers the actual net price.
