---Not available. \1\Includes institutional and academic support less libraries. \2\Data imputed using alternative procedures. \3\Includes libraries. NOTE: This table excludes universities. See preceding table. Data in this table may differ slightly from data appearing in other tables. Data for 1976-77 through 1985-86 include only institutions which provided both enrollment and finance data. Data for 1976-77 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. The Higher Education Price Index was used to convert the per student figures to constant dollars. Some data revised from previously published figures. Detail may not sum to totals due to rounding.
