\1\Preliminary data.

NOTE: Data for 1969-70 to 1994-95 are for institutions of higher education. Institutions of higher education were accredited by an agency or association that was recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, or recognized directly by the Secretary of Education. 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 associate or higher degrees. Data for 1995-96 and 1996-97 are for 4-year and 2-year degree-granting institutions that were participating in Title IV federal financial aid programs. Detail may not sum to totals due to rounding.
