# Rounds to zero. NOTE: This table shows, for example, that 56.2 percent of the undergraduate career education credentials awarded in 1997 were subbaccalaureate credentials. There are no standard errors for this table because it is based on population counts. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
