1 Data were imputed using alternative procedures. (See Guide to Sources for details.) 2 Data for 1999 and later years reflect substantial changes in survey coverage. NOTE: Data through 1990 are for institutions of higher education, while later data are for degree-granting institutions. Degree-granting institutions grant associate's or higher degrees and participate in Title IV federal financial aid programs. The degree-granting classification is very similar to the earlier higher education classification, but it includes more 2-year colleges and excludes a few higher education institutions that did not grant degrees.
