---Not available. \1\Institutions that 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. \2\Degree-credit enrollment only. \3\Includes part-time resident students and all extension students. \4\Large increases are due to the addition of schools accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges of Technology. \5\Because of imputation techniques, data are not consistent with figures for other years. \6\Data are for 4-year and 2-year degree-granting institutions that were participating in Title IV federal financial aid programs. \7\Data imputed using alternative procedures. (See Guide to Sources for details.) NOTE: 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, or recognized directly by the Secretary of Education. As of 1996, the Department has been collecting data from Title IV participants. 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.
