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.
Graduates from New Hampshire came out with the most debt on average â at $27,167. Graduates from Utah, meanwhile, had the least â at $7,545. The report looks specifically at the average student debt per graduate â and not per borrower. That means the number includes the amount of students who graduate debt-free, too. Notably, families in the Northeast spend about 70% more on college than those in the West, Midwest, and South, which might explain why the average debt per graduate is higher in that part of the country.
