*For the sake of consistency, enrollment data is drawn from the National Center for Education Statistics IPEDS database. This represents a significant undercount, as it does not include: (a) students attending institutions that do not participate in federal financial aid programs; and (b) many students attending community colleges who are enrolled in non-credit and other courses.
