NOTE: Data in this table represent the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Prior to 2010, institutions were not required to report separate data on Asians, Pacific Islanders, and students of Two or more races. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. For years prior to 1990, because of underreporting and nonreporting of racial/ethnic data, some figures are slightly lower than corresponding data in other tables. 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. Some data have been revised from previously published figures. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
