1 Includes unclassified courses not shown separately.
2 Includes students who complete at least 12 Carnegie units in academic courses, but less than 3 Carnegie units in any spe­cific labor market preparation field.
3 Includes students who complete at least 3 Carnegie units in a specific labor market preparation field, but less than 12 Car-negie units in academic courses.
4 Includes students who complete at least 12 Carnegie units in academic courses and at least 3 Carnegie units in a specific labor market preparation field.
5 Includes students who complete less than 12 Carnegie units in academic courses and less than 3 Carnegie units in a spe­cific labor market preparation field.
NOTE: The Carnegie unit is a standard of measurement that represents one credit for the completion of a 1-year course. Data differ slightly from figures appearing in other NCES reports because of differences in taxonomies and case exclusion criteria. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic origin. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. Standard errors appear in parentheses.
