NOTE: Reported racial/ethnic distributions of students by level of degree, field of degree, and sex were used to estimate race/ethnicity for students whose race/ethnicity was not reported. To facilitate trend comparisons, certain aggregations have been made of the degree fields as reported in the IPEDS Fall survey: "Agriculture and natural resources" includes Agriculture, agriculture operations and related sciences and Natural resources and conservation; and "Business" includes Business management, marketing, and related support services, and Personal and culinary services. Some data have been revised from previously published figures.
