1 The size of the low-income population is based on the percent of federal grant aid recipients in graduation rate cohort: small = 20 percent or less, moderate = 21 to 39 percent, large = 40 percent or more. For minimally selective institutions, because of small sample sizes, small and moderate low-income levels were combined.

NOTE: Black includes African American, Hispanic includes Latino, and Asian includes Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander. Race categories exclude Hispanic origin unless specified.
