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. Credential counts are based on the Completions file reference year, which is the year prior to the data collection year (2016–17 for collection year 2017–18). Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
