\1\Some institutions do not report separate enrollment data for each branch campus. For this reason, counts of institutions in this table are somewhat lower than figures appearing in other tables. NOTE.
--Data represent the branch campuses and enrollments reported in the "Fall Enrollment" survey. Includes 4-year and 2-year degree-granting institutions that were eligible to participate in Title IV federal financial aid programs.
