1 Constant dollars based on the Consumer Price Index, prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, adjusted to an academic-year basis.

2 Institutions that awarded 20 or more doctor's degrees during the previous academic year.

3 Institutions that awarded 20 or more master's degrees but less than 20 doctor's degrees during the previous academic year. This definition differs from the definition of master's institutions that is used in some Digest tables that present postsecondary finance data.

NOTE: Data in this table represent the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Data exclude instructional faculty at medical schools. Degree-granting institutions grant associate's or higher degrees and participate in Title IV federal financial aid programs. Data include imputations for nonrespondent institutions. Some data have been revised from previously published figures.
