! Interpret with caution. The coefficient of variation for this estimate is between 30 and 50. 1 Parents' income is used if student is dependent and student's own income is used if student is independent. Income quartiles were constructed separately for each dependency status. NOTE: Data include the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. Increases in the number or proportion of students with occupational and academic majors from 2008 to 2012, and decreases in undeclared majors, may be caused in part by a methodological change. In 2012, but not in 2008, students with an undeclared major were asked their intended major; those with an intended major were coded as having a major field of study rather than as undeclared.
