#Rounds to zero.
¹Race/ethnicity not collected.
²Includes all degrees and certificates separately shown. Does not include postbaccalaureate or post-master's certificates.
³Includes certificates of less than 2 years as well as those of at least 2 years but less than 4 years. This was previously reported as “Certificates below the associate's degree level"; however, the data are comparable over time.
NOTE: Data in this table represent the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Data are for postsecondary institutions that participate in Title IV federal financial aid programs and U.S. service academies. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. Black includes African American, Hispanic includes Latino, and Pacific Islander includes Native Hawaiian. Data for students whose race/ethnicity was unknown were prorated into these groups based on the reported racial/ethnic distribution by level of degree, field of study, and sex (does not include nonresident students). STEM fields include biological and biomedical sciences, computer and information sciences, engineering and engineering technologies, mathematics and statistics, and physical sciences and science technologies. Degree counts are limited to degree-granting institutions as classified in the fall following the reported data year. A small number of current non-degree-granting institutions could have awarded associate’s degrees to students in the prior year, but these counts are excluded from this table. Certificate counts include both degree- and non-degree-granting institutions. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. Some data have been revised from previously published figures.
