1 Essentially self-supporting operations of institutions that furnish a service to students, faculty, or staff, such as residence halls and food services.

2 Excludes allowances that were recorded as a reduction to revenues from tuition and fees and from auxiliary enterprises, such as room, board, and books; also excludes agency transactions, such as student awards made from contributed funds or grant funds. These exclusions account for the majority of total student grants.

3 Research universities with a very high level of research activity.

4 Research universities with a high level of research activity.

5 Institutions that award at least 20 research/scholarship doctor's degrees per year, but did not have high levels of research activity.

6 Institutions that award at least 50 master's and fewer than 20 doctor's degrees per year.

7 Institutions that primarily emphasize undergraduate education. In addition to institutions that primarily award bachelor's degrees, also includes institutions classified as 4-year in the IPEDS system, but classified as 2-year baccalaureate/associate's colleges in the Carnegie Classification system because they primarily award associate's degrees.

8 Four-year institutions that award degrees primarily in single fields of study, such as medicine, business, fine arts, theology, and engineering.

9 Tribally controlled colleges, which are located on reservations and are members of the American Indian Higher Education Consortium.

NOTE: Relative levels of research activity for research universities were determined by an analysis of research and development expenditures, science and engineering research staffing, and doctor's degrees conferred, by field. Further information on the Carnegie 2015 classification system used in this table may be obtained from https://carnegieclassifications.iu.edu/downloads/CCIHE2015-FactsFigures.pdf. Degree-granting institutions grant associate's or higher degrees and participate in Title IV federal financial aid programs. Data in this table pertain to institutions' fiscal years that end in the academic year noted. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
