NOTE: Percent minority based on U.S. citizen enrollment (total enrollment less enrollment of nonresident aliens). Data for 1994 are based on institutions of higher education. Data for 1996 through 1999 are for degree-granting institutions. Data for 1994 are based on higher education institutions that were accredited by an agency or association that was recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, or directly recognized by the Secretary of Education. The Department of Education no longer distinguishes between those institutions and other institutions that participated in Title IV programs. The new degree-granting classification is very similar to the earlier higher education classification, except that it includes some additional institutions, primarily 2-year colleges, and excludes a few higher education institutions that did not award degrees. Data for 1999 imputed using alternative procedures. (See Guide to Sources for details.)
