Figure 10-1: Actual and projected undergraduate enrollment in degree-granting postsecondary institutions, by sex and attendance status: Fall 1970-2021

— Data not available.
NOTE: Data for 1980 and 1990 are for institutions of higher education, and data for 2000 and 2010 are for degree-granting institutions. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. Because of underreporting and nonreporting of racial/ethnic data and nonresident aliens, some estimates are slightly lower than corresponding data in other published tables. For more information on race/ethnicity or the classification of postsecondary education institutions, see Appendix C – Commonly Used Measures. See Appendix D – Glossary for definitions for full-time and part-time enrollment. For more information on the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), see Appendix B – Guide to Sources.
