\1\Degree-credit enrollment only.
\2\Includes part-time resident students and all extension students. \3\Large increases are due to the addition of schools accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges of Technology. \4\Because of imputation techniques, data are not consistent with figures for other years. \5\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. ---Data not available. 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. 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 clasification 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.
