NOTE: Nonresident aliens are included in the total enrollment (i.e., the denominator) but none are considered minority students. Data are for 4-year and 2-year degree-granting institutions that were participating in Title IV federal financial aid programs in fall 2002. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. See supplemental note 3 for more information about the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS).
