For more information, see "Calculation of FTE students (using fall student headcounts)" in the IPEDS Glossary (https://surveys.nces.ed.gov/ipeds/public/glossary). Degree-granting institutions grant associate’s or higher degrees and participate in Title IV federal financial aid programs. Excludes historically Black colleges and universities that are not participating in Title IV programs. Historically Black colleges and universities are degree-granting institutions established prior to 1964 with the principal mission of educating Black Americans. Federal regulations, 20 U.S. Code, Section 1061 (2), allow for certain exceptions to the founding date. Totals include persons of other racial/ethnic groups not separately identified. Students for whom race/ethnicity was unknown were allocated to the reported race/ethnicity categories using the known proportion of students in those other reported race/ethnicity categories. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
