\1\Doctoral, intensive institutions are committed to education through the doctorate and award at least 10 doctoral degrees per year across 3 or more disciplines or at least 20 doctoral degrees overall.
\2\Master's institutions offer a full range of baccalaureate programs and are committed to education through the master's degree. They award at least 20 master's degrees per year.
\3\Baccalaureate institutions primarily emphasize undergraduate education.
\4\Specialized 4-year institutions award degrees primarily in single fields of study, such as medicine, business, fine arts, theology and engineering. Includes some institutions which have 4-year programs, but have not reported sufficient data to identify program category. Also includes institutions classified as 4-year under the IPEDS system, which had been classified as 2-year in the Carnegie system because they primarily award associate degrees.

NOTE: Detail may not sum to totals due to rounding.
