NOTE: Title IV institutions are those with a written agreement with the U.S. Department of Education that allows the institution to participate in any of the Title IV federal student financial assistance programs. The four U.S. service academies that are not Title IV eligible are included in the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) universe and in this table because they are federally funded and open to the public. For all years, the occupational education fields of study are based on the 2010 Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP), and are defined here as: agriculture and natural resources; business and marketing; communication and communication technologies; computer and information sciences; consumer services; engineering, architecture, and science technologies; health sciences; manufacturing, construction, repair, and transportation; protective services; and public, legal, and social services. See https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/ctes/tables/postsec_tax.asp for the taxonomy linking CIP codes and fields of study. Credential counts are based on the Completions file reference year, which is the year prior to the data collection year (e.g., 2016–17 for collection year 2017–18). Because of changes to institutional characteristics between the reference year and collection year, institutions may report awards that are not consistent with their current levels of offering (e.g., two-year institutions in the collection year may report awarding bachelor’s degrees in the reference year, or less-than-2-year institutions in the collection year may report awarding associate’s degrees in the reference year). Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
