#Rounds to zero.
1 Private institutions typically report Pell grants as revenues from tuition and fees rather than as revenues from federal grants.
2 Includes independent operations.
3 Includes revenues received from gift or contribution nonexchange transactions except those from affiliated entities. Contributions from affiliated entities includes all revenues received from nonconsolidated affiliated entities, such as fundraising foundations, booster clubs, other institutionally related foundations, and similar organizations created to support the institution or organizational components of the institution.
4 Includes all revenues derived from the sales of goods and services that are incidental to the conduct of instruction, research, or public service and revenues of activities that exist to provide instructional and laboratory experience for students and that incidentally create goods and services that may be sold.
5 Includes revenues generated by or collected from the auxiliary enterprise operations of the institution that exist to furnish a service to students, faculty, or staff and that charge a fee that is directly related to, although not necessarily equal to, the cost of the service. Auxiliary enterprises are managed as essentially self-supporting activities.
6 Research universities with a very high level of research activity.
7 Research universities with a high level of research activity.
8 Institutions that award at least 20 research/scholarship doctor's degrees per year, but did not have high levels of research activity.
9 Institutions that award at least 50 master's and fewer than 20 doctor's degrees per year.
10 Institutions that primarily emphasize undergraduate education. In addition to institutions that primarily award bachelor's degrees, also includes institutions classified as 4-year in the IPEDS system, but classified as 2-year baccalaureate/associate's colleges in the Carnegie Classification system because they primarily award associate's degrees.
11 Four-year institutions that award degrees primarily in single fields of study, such as medicine, business, fine arts, theology, and engineering.
12 Tribally controlled colleges, which are located on reservations and are members of the American Indian Higher Education Consortium.
NOTE: Data in this table represent the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Relative levels of research activity for research universities were determined by an analysis of research and development expenditures, science and engineering research staffing, and doctor's degrees conferred, by field. Further information on the Carnegie 2018 classification system used in this table may be obtained from https://carnegieclassifications.iu.edu/downloads/CCIHE2018-FactsFigures.pdf. Degree-granting institutions grant associate’s or higher degrees and participate in Title IV federal financial aid programs. Data in this table pertain to institutions' fiscal years that end in the academic year noted. This table excludes 195 institutions with missing data on Carnegie classifications, with $689,470 in thousands of current dollars for total revenue. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
