NOTE: Degree-granting institutions grant associate’s or higher degrees and participate in Title IV federal financial aid programs. The degree-granting classification is very similar to the earlier higher education classification, but it includes more 2-year colleges and excludes a few higher education institutions that did not grant degrees. (See Appendix A: Guide to Sources for details.) Data for years prior to 1969-70 are not entirely comparable with data for later years. Also, some details for 1969-70 are not directly comparable with data for later years. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. | |||||||||||
