Fall Enrollment in Title IV Degree-Granting Postsecondary Institutions: 1998

摘要

This report presents data on student enrollment in postsecondary educationinstitutions in the 50 states and the District of Columbia for fall 1998. The data are from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) of the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). Enrollment data were collected through two IPEDS surveys. The Fall Enrollment Survey (IPEDS-EF:98) was sent to all institutions that award associate's or higher level degrees or postbaccalaureate or higher level certificates and that have a Title IV Program Participation Agreement (PPA) with the Department of Education. Postsecondary institutions that award only certificates or diplomas requiring less than 4 years to complete reported enrollment as part of their IPEDS Consolidated Survey (IPEDSCN: 98). Combining data from these two surveys provides a complete picture of enrollment in postsecondary education institutions in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories. This report focuses on institutions that (1) have a PPA with the Department of Education and thus are eligible to participate in Title IV programs,1 (2) grant associates or higher level degrees, and (3) are within the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
