NOTE: The numbers of associate’s degrees reported in table 8 are greater than the numbers reported in some other tables. Some schools that reported conferring degrees in 2001–02 are no longer classified as “degree-granting” in 2002–03. The classification as “degree-granting” is based on the institution’s response to the Institutional Characteristics component.
