ATA. Short for Advanced Technology Attachment, ATA was approved May 12, 1994 and is an interface that connects hard drives, CD-ROM drives, and other drives. The first ATA interface is now commonly referred to as PATA, which is short for Parallel AT Attachment after the introduction of SATA.TA-4, ATAPI-4, and ATA/ATAPI-4. ATA-4 is a standard approved by ANSI in 1998 under document NCITS 317-1998.
The current average student loan debt for graduates from a four year college or university stands at $26,600. That figure can rise significantly for students attending a private, for-profit college or university. These are students who have received a Bachelorâs or baccalaureate degree.
More medical students are graduating debt-free â many likely coming from wealthier families â but those from lower-income backgrounds face higher debts heading into their residences. New research finds that the average debt that medical school graduates carry has climbed from $161,739 in 2010 to $179,000 in 2016. (Figures are adjusted to 2016 dollars.) Yet fewer students are facing debt at all. That same six-year period saw the number of students graduating with no debt increase by 67 percent.
