Not applicable.

NOTE.   Because of underreporting and nonreporting of racial/ ethnic data, some figures are slightly lower than corresponding data in other tables. Trend tabulations of institutions of higher education data are based on institutions that were accredited by an agency or association that was recognized by the U. S. Department of Education. The Department of Education no longer distinguishes between those institutions and other institutions that are eligible to participate in Title IV programs. 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 degrees. Because of rounding, details may not add to totals.

Not applicable.

NOTE.   Because of underreporting and nonreporting of racial/ ethnic data, some figures are slightly lower than corresponding data in other tables. Trend tabulations of institutions of higher education data are based on institutions that were accredited by an agency or association that was recognized by the U. S. Department of Education. The Department of Education no longer distinguishes between those institutions and other institutions that are eligible to participate in Title IV programs. 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 degrees. Because of rounding, details may not add to totals.

Minority includes black, Hispanic, Asian or Pacific Islander, and American Indian/ Alaskan Native students.

2 Data are for 4 year and 2 year degree granting higher education institutions that were eligible to participate in Title IV federal financial aid programs.

NOTE.   Some institutions do not report separate enrollment data for each branch campus. For this reason, counts of institutions in this table are somewhat lower than figures appearing in other tables. Tabulations of institutions of higher education data are based on institutions that were accredited by an agency or association that was recognized by the U. S. Department of Education. The Department of Education no longer distinguishes between those institutions and other institutions that are eligible to participate in Title IV programs. 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 degrees.
