NOTE: Data for 1970-71 to 1995-96 are for institutions of higher education. Institutions of higher education were accredited by an agency or association that was recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, or recognized directly by the Secretary of Education. The new degree-granting classification is very similar to the earlier higher education classification, except that it includes some additional institutions, primarily 2-year colleges, and excludes a few higher education institutions that did not award associate or higher degrees. Constant dollar data were adjusted by the Consumer Price Index prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, averaged on an academic year time frame. Data for 1987-88 and later years include imputations for nonrespondent institutions.
