---Not available. \1\Excludes first-time freshmen in occupational programs not creditable towards a bachelor's degree. \2\Data for 2-year branches of 4-year college systems are aggregated with the 4-year institutions. \3\Because of imputation techniques, data are not consistent with figures for other years. \4\Data not comparable with pre-1990 figures because of a change in reporting procedures. \5\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. The Department of Education no longer distinguishes between those institutions and other institutions that participated 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 associate or higher degrees. Alaska and Hawaii are included in all years. Detail may not sum to totals due to rounding.
