| NOTE: Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. Enrollment data in the "race/ethnicity unknown" (all years) and "two or more races" (2008 and 2009 only) categories of the IPEDS "Fall Enrollment Survey" have been prorated to the other racial/ethnic categories at the institutional level. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. Mean absolute percentage errors of selected education statistics can be found in table A-2, appendix A. | |||||||||
