NOTE: The above classification of degrees by field differs somewhat from that in most publications of the National Center for Education Statistics ( NCES). The major differences are that history is included under humanities rather than social sciences and that psychology is included under social sciences. Includes Ph. D., Ed. D., and comparable degrees at the doctoral level. Excludes first professional degrees, such as M. D., D. D. S., and D. V. M. The number of degrees also differs slightly from that reported in the NCES `` Completions'' survey. The above tabulation excludes some non research doctorate degrees such as doctor's degrees in theology. Total includes a small number of graduates not reported by field of study. Detail may not sum to totals due to rounding.

In particular, large numbers of Asians converted from temporary visas to permanent visas in the mid 1990s. Distribution by race/ ethnicity based on U. S. citizens and those with permanent visas only. The National Research Council's classification of degrees by field differs somewhat from that in most publications of the National Center for Education Statistics ( NCES). The major differences are that history is included under humanities rather than social sciences and that psychology is included under social sciences. Includes anthropology, area studies, criminology, demographic population studies, economics, econometrics, geography, international relations affairs, political science, public policy, psychology, sociology, statistics, and urban affairs/ studies. The number of degrees also differs slightly from that reported in the NCES `` Completions'' survey. Detail may not sum to totals due to rounding.
