NOTE: Data for 1980   81 and 1990   91 are for institutions of higher education. Institutions of higher education were accredited by an agency or association that was recognized by the U. S. Department of Education, or recognized directly by the Secretary of Education. The new degree granting classification is very similar to the earlier higher education classification, except that it includes some additional institutions, primarily 2 year colleges, and excludes a few higher education institutions that did not award associate or higher degrees.

NOTE: This table indicates the year in which the institution closed. Data for 1960   61 to 1995   96 are for institutions of higher education. Institutions of higher education were accredited by an agency or association that was recognized by the U. S. Department of Education, or recognized directly by the Secretary of Education. The new degree granting classification is very similar to the earlier higher education classification, except that it includes some additional institutions, primarily 2 year colleges, and excludes a few higher education institutions that did not award associate or higher degrees. Some data revised from previously published figures.

NOTE: Data for 1869   70 to 1994   95 are for institutions of higher education. Institutions of higher education were accredited by an agency or association that was recognized by the U. S. Department of Education, or recognized directly by the Secretary of Education. The new degree granting classification is very similar to the earlier higher education classification, except that it includes some additional institutions, primarily 2 year colleges, and excludes a few higher education institutions that did not award associate or higher degrees. Data for 1998   99 imputed using alternative procedures. ( See Guide to Sources for details.) Some data have been revised from previously published figures. Detail may not sum to totals due to rounding.
