\1\Data were imputed using alternative procedures. (See Guide to Sources for details.) NOTE: 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's or higher degrees. These degree-granting institutions participated in Title IV federal financial aid programs. (See Guide to Sources for details.) SOURCE: U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS), "Fall Enrollment in Colleges and Universities" surveys, 1970 and 1980; and 1990 through 2002 Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, "Fall Enrollment Survey" (IPEDS-EF:90-99), and Spring 2001 through Spring 2003.
