| 1 The racial/ethnic backgrounds of nonresident aliens are not known. |
| NOTE: Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. Data for 1999 were imputed using alternative procedures. (For more details, see appendix E of Projections of Education Statistics to 2011.) Enrollment data in the "racial/ethnicity unknown" category of the IPEDS "Fall Enrollment Survey" have been prorated to the other racial/ethnicity categories at the institutional level. Mean absolute percentage errors of selected education statistics can be found in table A2, appendix A. |
