---Not available. \1\Data for 2-year branch campuses of 4-year institutions are included with the 4-year institutions. \2\Large increases are due to the addition of schools accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges of Technology. \3\Because of imputation techniques, data are not consistent with figures for other years. \4\Data were imputed using alternative procedures. (See Guide to Sources for details.) NOTE: 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's or higher degrees. These degree-granting institutions participated in Title IV federal financial aid programs. (See guide to sources for details.)
