\1\Large increases are due to the addition of schools accredited by the Accrediting Commission
of Career Schools and Colleges of Technology.
\2\Because of revised survey procedures, data are not entirely comparable with figures for earlier years. The number of branch campuses reporting separately has increased since 1986-87. NOTE.--Includes those colleges designated as institutions of higher education by the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, even if they have a less than 2-year program.
