Note: Analysis excludes colleges in this category with fewer than 1,000 students in the fall of 2000. Data are based on a total head count of full- and part-time undergraduate and graduate students. Percentages are rounded, but institutions are ranked based on unrounded figures. Growth at some colleges reflects online-only students, who are not reported separately from students attending on campus. The categories shown are based on those issued by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching in 2010.
