# Rounds to zero. ! Interpret data with caution. Standard error is more than one-third the estimate. NOTE: This table shows, for example, that 67.6 percent of credential-seeking career education undergraduates whose parents had less than a high school education were enrolled in public institutions in 2003–04. There were approximately 16,820,000 credential-seeking undergraduates in 2003-04. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
