Summary

Introduction

This report presents a statistical overview of historically Black colleges and 

universities (HBCUs) from 1976 to 2001. HBCUs are institutions established prior to 1964, 

whose principal mission is the education of Black Americans.

Although most HBCUs are 4-year institutions in the southern United States, they 

represent a diverse set of institutions in 19 states, the District of Columbia, and the Virgin

Islands. They are both public and private; single-sex and coeducational; predominantly

Black and predominantly White; 2-year and 4-year colleges; research universities,

professional schools, community colleges, and small liberal arts colleges. 

Three colleges for Blacks were established before 1862. Cheyney University of 

Pennsylvania was established in the 1830s. Lincoln University in Pennsylvania and 

Wilberforce College in Ohio were established in the 1850s. In 1862, the first land grant 

college provisions, known as the First Morrill Act, were enacted by Congress. By the late 

1860s, Morrill Act funds were distributed to the states, with the intention that they would 

foster educational opportunity for all students, especially newly freed Blacks. Congress 

passed the Second Morrill Act in 1890 that required states with dual systems of higher 

education (all-White and non-White) to provide land-grant institutions for both systems.

Nineteen land-grant institutions for Blacks were organized and were initially non-degreegranting agricultural, mechanical, and industrial schools. In 1965, Congress introduced its 

institutional aid program for HBCUs (20 USC 1060). This E.D. TAB report presents 

tabular data on institution enrollment, degrees conferred, staff and salaries, revenues, 

expenditures, and student financial aid. 

Data

The data used in this report are from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data 

System (IPEDS) and, prior to 1986, its predecessor survey, the Higher Education General 

Information Survey (HEGIS). The trend tables draw on HEGIS and IPEDS surveys that 

collected information concerning enrollment, institutional finances, student financial aid, 

salaries, tenure and fringe benefits, staff, and degree completions. According to section 490 

of the Higher Education Amendments of 1992 (P.L. 102-325), IPEDS is mandatory for any 

institutions that participate in or are applicants for participation in any federal financial

assistance program authorized by Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as 

amended [20 USC 1094 (a)(17)]. For the spring 2002 data collection, the overall response 

rate was 98.6 percent for degree-granting institutions (including those eligible for Title IV 

federal financial aid programs and that grant an associate’s or higher degree) and 98.6 

percent for non-degree-granting institutions. In addition, other postsecondary institutions

that do not participate in Title IV programs are invited to participate. Of the approximately

10,000 postsecondary institutions surveyed in 2002, some 6,696 institutions were Title IV 

programs and are the basis for comparison in the analysis.

1
IPEDS is a universe survey with missing data subject to imputation for nonresponse 

in the enrollment, degree, staff, and finance data. Because IPEDS is a census of the 

population of Title IV schools, the data presented here are not subject to sampling error.

However, they are subject to nonsampling error, the sources of which vary with the survey 

instrument. A technical appendix is included that explains the data sources in more detail. 

Selected Findings 

Enrollment

x Total fall enrollment in HBCUs was about 290,000 in 2001 (table 1). For the past 

four decades, women have made up a larger proportion of enrollment in these

institutions than men (figure 1); in 2001, women made up 61 percent of enrollment.

x In 2001, 90 percent of HBCU students attended 4-year institutions and 10 percent 

attended 2-year institutions. HBCU students were more likely to attend public 

institutions than private, not-for-profit institutions (72 vs. 28 percent) (derived from

table A-2).

x Two percent of all college students were enrolled in HBCUs in 2001. Black 

enrollment at HBCUs accounted for 13 percent of all Black enrollment (table 1). 

x In 2001, Blacks constituted 82 percent of all those enrolled in HBCUs and in 1976, 

they made up 85 percent (table A-7).

Degrees conferred by HBCUs

x More bachelor’s degrees than other degrees were awarded by HBCUs in 2001–02 

(table 2). 

x Compared with other racial/ethnic groups, Blacks earned the highest proportion of 

degrees awarded by HBCUs in 2001 at each level—associate’s, bachelor’s, 

master’s, doctor’s, and first-professional degrees (tables A-15 through A-19). 

Blacks earned 87 percent of bachelor’s degrees (table A-16). 

x In 2001, more than one-fifth of all bachelor’s degrees awarded to Blacks were from

HBCUs (figure 2). Compared with 1976–77, there were proportionately fewer 

Blacks earning bachelor’s degrees at HBCUs in 2001–02 (35 percent vs. 22 

percent). (Although the number of bachelor’s degrees earned by Blacks at HBCUs 

increased from 20,800 to 25,100 during this period, the number of Blacks earning 

degrees at other types of institutions has risen more rapidly) (tables A-16 and A20).

x Since 1990–91, 60 percent or more of associate’s, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees 

at HBCUs have been earned by women. At HBCUs since 1994–95, women have 

earned more than half of the first-professional degrees, and since 1999–2000, 

women have earned more than half of the doctor’s degrees (derived from table A26).

Staff and salaries 

x Of the 14,100 full-time faculty at HBCUs in 2001, 72 percent were members of 

minority groups. Of full-time faculty, 58 percent were male and 42 percent were 

female. Blacks constituted 60 percent of the full-time faculty at HBCUs and Whites

constituted 27 percent (derived from table A-46). 

x In 2001, 54,551 persons were employed at HBCUs, of which 76 percent were Black 

(table A-42).

x In 2001–02, average salaries of full-time instructional faculty on 9-month contracts 

at HBCUs were 81 percent of what they were in all institutions. Since 1976–77, the 

4
average salaries at HBCUs have been around 80 percent of those at all institutions

(ranging from 79 to 84 percent) (table A-49).

Finance

x Private, not-for-profit HBCUs in 1996–97 derived 22 percent of their revenue from

student tuition and fees; by 2000–01, the proportion had increased to 25 percent 

(table A-61). 

x In 1976–77, current-fund revenue for public HBCUs from tuition and fees was 14 

percent; in 2000-01, it had increased to 20 percent (table A-60).

x Educational and general expenditures per full-time-equivalent (FTE) student for 

public HBCUs increased from $10,059 in 1976–77 to $15,085 in 2000–01 (in 

constant 2000-01 dollars); expenditures per FTE student for all public institutions 

increased from $10,804 in 1976–77 to $16,525 in 2000–01 (constant 2000-01 

dollars) (figure 3 and table A-50). 

x Private, not-for-profit HBCUs spent less per FTE student in instructional 

expenditures than all private, not-for-profit colleges and universities. In 2000–01, 

HBCUs averaged $7,732 and all institutions averaged $10,662—a difference of 

$2,930 (table A-51).

Student financial aid

x Full-time, first-time undergraduate students enrolled at HBCUs were slightly more

likely to receive financial aid, compared with full-time, first-time students attending 

all institutions (77 vs. 70 percent) (figure 4). Over 80 percent of students enrolled in 

private not-for-profit 4-year schools received financial aid whether or not the school

was an HBCU (table A-64). 

x The average federal grant amount for students enrolled in private, not-for-profit 4-

year HBCUs was $3,200, and the comparable average for all private, not-for-profit 

4-year schools was $2,900 (table A-64). 

x Average institutional grant amounts for HBCU students attending 2- and 4-year 

public schools were higher than for all 2- and 4-year public school students. The 

opposite was the case for 2- and 4-year private, not-for-profit schools. The average 

institutional grant amount was $7,500 for all 4-year private, not-for-profit school 

students and $4,500 for HBCU students (table A-64).

 attendance status and sex of student: 1976 to 2001

NOTE: Data since 1996 are for degree-granting institutions. Data for 1976 to 1995 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 directly recognized 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 an associate's or higher degrees.

Table A-2. Fall enrollment in degree-granting historically Black colleges and universities, by type and

 control of institution: 1976 to 2001 

NOTE: Data since 1996 are for degree-granting institutions. Data for 1976 to 1995 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 directly recognized 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 an associate's or higher degrees.

Appendix B: Glossary 

Academic support This category of

college expenditures includes 

expenditures for support services that are 

an integral part of the institution's

primary missions of instruction, 

research, or public service. Includes 

expenditures for libraries, galleries, 

audio/visual services, academic

computing support, ancillary support, 

academic administration, personnel 

development, and course and curriculum

development.

Appropriation (institutional revenues)

An amount (other than a grant or 

contract) received from or made

available to an institution through an act 

of a legislative body.

Associate’s degree A degree granted 

for the successful completion of a subbaccalaureate program of studies, 

usually requiring at least 2 years (or

equivalent) of full-time college-level 

study. This includes degrees granted in a 

cooperative or work-study program.

Auxiliary enterprises This category 

includes those essentially self-supporting 

operations which exist to furnish a 

service to students, faculty, or staff, and 

which charge a fee that is directly related 

to, although not necessarily equal to, the 

cost of the service. Examples are 

residence halls, food services, college 

stores, and intercollegiate athletics.

Bachelor’s degree A degree granted 

for the successful completion of a 

baccalaureate program of studies, 

usually requiring at least 4 years (or

equivalent) of full-time college-level 

study. This includes degrees granted in a 

cooperative or work-study program.

Business Program of instruction that 

prepares individuals for a variety of 

activities in planning, organizing, 

directing, and controlling business office

systems and procedures.

College A postsecondary school which

offers general or liberal arts education, 

usually leading to an associate’s,

bachelor's, master's, doctor's, or firstprofessional degree. Junior colleges and 

community colleges are included under 

this terminology.

Constant dollars Dollar amounts that 

have been adjusted by means of price 

and cost indexes to eliminate

inflationary factors and allow direct

comparison across years.

Consumer Price Index (CPI) This

price index measures the average change

in the cost of a fixed market basket of 

goods and services purchased by 

consumers.

Control (of institutions) A 

classification of institutions of

elementary/secondary or higher 

education by whether the institution is 

operated by publicly elected or 

appointed officials (public control) or by 

privately elected or appointed officials 

and derives its major source of funds 

from private sources (private control).

Current dollars Dollar amounts that 

have not been adjusted to compensate

for inflation.

101
Current-fund expenditures (higher

education) Money spent to meet

current operating costs, including 

salaries, wages, utilities, student 

services, public services, research 

libraries, scholarships and fellowships, 

auxiliary enterprises, hospitals, and 

independent operations. Excludes loans, 

capital expenditures, and investments.

Current-fund revenues (higher 

education) Money received during the 

current fiscal year from revenue which 

can be used to pay obligations currently 

due, and surpluses reappropriated for the 

current fiscal year.

Degree-granting institutions

Postsecondary institutions that are 

eligible for Title IV federal financial-aid

programs and that grant an associate’s or 

higher degree. For an institution to be

eligible to participate in the Title IV 

financial-aid program, it must offer a 

program of at least 300 clock hours in 

length, have accreditation recognized by 

the Department of Education, have been 

in business for at least 2 years, and have 

signed a participation agreement with 

the Department. 

Doctor’s degree An earned degree 

carrying the title of Doctor. The Doctor 

of Philosophy degree (Ph.D.) is the 

highest academic degree and requires

mastery within a field of knowledge and 

demonstrated ability to perform

scholarly research. Other doctorates are 

awarded for fulfilling specialized

requirements in professional fields, such 

as education (Ed.D.), musical arts 

(D.M.A.), business administration

(D.B.A.), and engineering (D.Eng. or 

D.E.S.). Many doctor's degrees in 

academic and professional fields require

an earned master's degree as a 

prerequisite. First-professional degrees, 

such as M.D. and D.D.S., are not 

included under this heading.

Educational and general expenditures

The sum of current funds expenditures 

on instruction, research, public service, 

academic support, student services,

institutional support, operation and 

maintenance of plant, and awards from 

restricted and unrestricted funds.

Endowment assets Gross investments

of endowment funds, term endowment

funds, and funds functioning as 

endowment for the institution and any of 

its foundations and other affiliated 

organizations.

Endowment funds Funds whose 

principal is nonexpendable (true 

endowment) and that are intended to be 

invested to provide earnings for 

institutional use. Also includes term

endowments and funds functioning as 

endowment.

Endowment income Endowment

income includes: (1) the unrestricted

income of endowment and similar funds; 

(2) restricted income of endowment and 

similar funds to the extent expended for 

current operating purposes, and (3) 

income from funds held in trust by 

others under irrevocable trusts. Excludes 

capital gains or losses unless the

institution has adopted a spending 

formula by which it expends not only the 

yield but also a prudent portion of the 

appreciation of the principal. Does not 

include gains spent for current 

operations, which are treated as 

transfers.

Enrollment The total number of

students registered in a given school unit 

102
at a given time, generally in the fall of a 

year.

Expenditures Charges incurred, 

whether paid or unpaid, which are 

presumed to benefit the current fiscal 

year. For degree-granting institutions, 

these include current outlays plus capital 

outlays.

Federal sources Includes federal 

appropriations, grants, and contracts, and 

federally funded research and 

development centers (FFRDCs). 

Federally subsidized student loans and 

Pell Grants are not included.

First-professional degree A degree 

that signifies both completion of the 

academic requirements for beginning

practice in a given profession and a level 

of professional skill beyond that 

normally required for a bachelor's

degree. This degree usually is based on a 

program requiring at least 2 academic

years of work prior to entrance and a 

total of at least 6 academic years of work 

to complete the degree program,

including both prior-required college

work and the professional program itself. 

By NCES definition, first-professional 

degrees are awarded in the fields of 

dentistry (D.D.S. or D.M.D.), medicine

(M.D.), optometry (O.D.), osteopathic 

medicine (D.O.), pharmacy (D.Phar.), 

podiatric medicine (D.P.M.), veterinary 

medicine (D.V.M.), chiropractic (D.C. or 

D.C.M.), law (J.D.), and theological 

professions (M.Div. or M.H.L.).

First-professional enrollment The

number of students enrolled in a 

professional school or program which

requires at least 2 years of academic

college work for entrance and a total of

at least 6 years for a degree. By NCES 

definition, first-professional enrollment

includes only students in certain 

programs. (See First-professional degree 

for a list of programs.)

Full-time-equivalent (FTE) enrollment

A measurement equal to one student 

enrolled full time for one academic year. 

Total FTE enrollment equals the fulltime plus the calculated equivalent of the 

part-time enrollment. The full-time

equivalent of the part-time students can 

be estimated using different factors 

depending on the type and control of 

institution and level of student.

Full-time instructional faculty Those

members of the instruction/research staff 

who are employed full-time and whose 

major regular assignment is instruction, 

including those with released time for

research and faculty on sabbatical leave.

Full-time counts exclude faculty who are 

employed to teach less than two 

semesters, three quarters, two trimesters,

or two 4-month sessions; replacements

for faculty on sabbatical leave or those

on leave without pay; faculty for 

preclinical and clinical medicine; faculty 

who are donating their services; faculty 

who are members of military

organizations and paid on a different pay 

scale from civilian employees; academic

officers, whose primary duties are 

administrative; and graduate students 

who assist in the instruction of courses.

Full-time student A student enrolled 

in courses with total credit load equal to 

at least 75 percent of the normal fulltime course load.

Government appropriation Revenues

received by an institution through acts of 

a legislative body, except grants and 

contracts. These funds are for meeting

103
current operating expenses and not for 

specific projects or programs. The most 

common example is a state's general 

appropriation. Appropriations primarily

to fund capital assets are classified as 

capital appropriations.

Government grant or contract

Revenues from a government agency for 

a specific research project or other

program.

Graduate enrollment The number of 

students who hold the bachelor's or firstprofessional degree, or the equivalent, 

and who are working towards a master's

or doctor's degree. First-professional 

students are counted separately. These 

enrollment data measure those students 

who are registered at a particular time 

during the fall. At some institutions,

graduate enrollment also includes 

students who are in post-baccalaureate

classes but not in degree programs. In 

specified tables, graduate enrollment

includes all students in regular graduate 

programs and all students in postbaccalaureate classes but not in degree

programs (unclassified postbaccalaureate students).

Graduate student A student who 

holds a bachelor's or first-professional 

degree, or equivalent, and is taking 

courses at the post-baccalaureate level.

Graduation Formal recognition given 

an individual for the successful 

completion of a prescribed program of 

studies.

Higher education Study beyond 

secondary school at an institution that

offers programs terminating in an 

associate, baccalaureate, or higher 

degree.

Higher education institutions

4-year institution A postsecondary 

institution that offers programs of at 

least 4 years duration or one that offers 

programs at or above the baccalaureate 

level. Includes schools that offer 

postbaccalaureate certificates only or 

those that offer graduate programs

only. Also includes free-standing 

medical, law or other first-professional 

schools. In some tables, a further 

division between universities and other 

4-year institutions is made.

2-year institution A postsecondary 

institution that offers programs of at 

least 2 but less than 4 years duration. 

Includes occupational and vocational 

schools with programs of at least 1800 

hours and academic institutions with 

programs of less than 4 years. Does 

not include bachelor’s degree-granting 

institutions where the baccalaureate

program can be completed in 3 years. 

Historically Black colleges and 

universities The Higher Education Act 

of 1965, as amended, defines an HBCU 

as: "...any historically black college or 

university that was established prior to 

1964, whose principal mission was, and 

is, the education of black Americans,

and that is accredited by a nationally

recognized accrediting agency or 

association determined by the Secretary 

[of Education] to be a reliable authority 

as to the quality of training offered or is, 

according to such an agency or 

association, making reasonable progress 

toward accreditation." Federal

regulations (20 USC 1061 (2)) allow for 

certain exceptions to the founding date. 

104
Independent operations Expenses

associated with operations that are 

independent of or unrelated to the 

primary missions of the institution (i.e., 

instruction, research, public service) 

although they may contribute indirectly 

to the enhancement of these programs. 

For purposes of financial surveys 

conducted by the National Center for 

Education Statistics, this category is 

composed principally of federally 

funded research and development

centers (FFRDC).

Institutional support A functional 

expense category that includes expenses 

for the day-to-day operational support of 

the institution and excludes expenditures 

for physical operations. Includes 

expenses for general administrative

services, central executive-level

activities concerned with management

and long range planning, legal and fiscal 

operations, space management,

employee personnel and records, 

logistical services such as purchasing

and printing, and public relations and 

development. Also includes information

technology expenses related to 

institutional support activities. If an 

institution does not separately budget 

and expense information technology 

resources, the costs associated with 

student services and operation and 

maintenance of plant will also be applied 

to this function.

Instruction A functional expense 

category that includes expenses of the 

colleges, schools, departments, and other 

instructional divisions of the institution 

and expenses for departmental research 

and public service that are not separately 

budgeted. Includes general academic

instruction, occupational and vocational 

instruction, community education, 

preparatory and adult basic education,

and regular, special, and extension 

sessions. Also includes expenses for 

both credit and non-credit activities. 

Excludes expenses for academic administration where the primary function is 

administration (e.g., academic deans). 

Information technology expenses related 

to instructional activities if the institution separately budgets and expenses 

information technology resources are 

included (otherwise these expenses are 

included in academic support). 

Investment return Income from assets, 

including dividends, interest earnings, 

royalties, rent, gains (losses), etc. 

Land-grant colleges The First Morrill

Act of 1862 facilitated the establishment

of colleges through grants of land or 

funds in lieu of land. The Second Morrill 

Act in 1890 provided for money grants 

and for the establishment of Black landgrant colleges and universities in those

states with dual systems of higher 

education.

Mandatory transfer A transfer of 

current funds that must be made in order 

to fulfill a binding legal obligation of the 

institution. Included under mandatory

transfers are debt service provisions 

relating to academic and administrative

buildings, including (1) amounts set 

aside for debt retirement and interest and 

(2) required provisions for renewal and 

replacement of buildings to the extent 

these are not financed from other funds. 

Also includes the institutional matching

portion for Perkins loans when the 

source of funds is current revenue.

Master’s degree A degree awarded for 

successful completion of a program

generally requiring 1 or 2 years of full105
time college-level study beyond the 

bachelor's degree. One type of master's

degree, including the Master of Arts 

degree, or M.A., and the Master of 

Science degree, or M.S., is awarded in 

the liberal arts and sciences for advanced 

scholarship in a subject field or 

discipline and demonstrated ability to

perform scholarly research. A second 

type of master's degree is awarded for 

the completion of a professionally 

oriented program, for example, an M.Ed. 

in education, an M.B.A. in business 

administration, an M.F.A. in fine arts, an 

M.M. in music, an M.S.W. in social 

work, and an M.P.A. in public 

administration. A third type of master's

degree is awarded in professional fields 

for study beyond the first-professional 

degree, for example, the Master of Laws 

(L.L.M.) and Master of Science in 

various medical specializations.

Nonresident alien A person who is not 

a citizen or national of the United States 

and who is in this country on a 

temporary basis and does not have the 

right to remain indefinitely. 

Part-time student A student enrolled in 

courses with a total credit load less than

75 percent of the normal full-time credit 

load.

Postsecondary education The

provision of formal instructional 

programs with a curriculum designed 

primarily for students who have 

completed the requirements for a high 

school diploma or equivalent. This 

includes programs of an academic,

vocational, and continuing professional 

education purpose, and excludes 

avocational and adult basic education

programs.

Private school or institution A school 

or institution which is controlled by an 

individual or agency other than a state, a 

subdivision of a state, or the federal 

government, which is usually not 

supported primarily by public funds, and 

is not operated by publicly elected or 

appointed officials.

Private, for-profit institution A

private institution in which the 

individual(s) or agency in control 

receives compensation other than 

wages, rent, or other expenses for the 

assumption of risk. 

Private, not-for-profit institution A 

private institution in which the 

individual(s) or agency in control 

receives no compensation, other than 

wages, rent, or other expenses for the 

assumption of risk. These include both 

independent not-for-profit schools and 

those affiliated with a religious

organization.

Public institution A school or 

institution controlled and operated by 

publicly elected or appointed officials 

and deriving its primary support from 

public funds.

Racial/ethnic group Classification

indicating general racial or ethnic 

heritage based on self-identification, as 

in data collected by the U.S. Bureau of 

the Census or on observer identification, 

as in data collected by the Office for 

Civil Rights. Data categories collected

for IPEDS are in accordance with the

Office of Management and Budget 

standard classification scheme presented 

below:

persons of Hispanic origin.

Hispanic or Latino A person of 

Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central 

or South American, or other Spanish 

culture or origin, regardless of race. 

Asian or Pacific Islander A person 

having origins in any of the original 

peoples of the Far East, Southeast 

Asia, the Indian subcontinent, or the 

Pacific Islands. This area includes, for 

example, China, India, Japan, Korea, 

the Philippine Islands, and Samoa.

American Indian or Alaskan Native

A person having origins in any of the 

original peoples of North and South 

America (including Central America)

and maintaining cultural identification

through tribal affiliation or community

recognition.

Revenues All funds received from

external sources, net of refunds, and 

correcting transactions. Noncash 

transactions such as receipt of services, 

commodities, or other receipts in-kind

are excluded as are funds received from 

the issuance of debt, liquidation of 

investments, and nonroutine sale of 

property.

Salary The total amount regularly paid

or stipulated to be paid to an individual, 

before deductions, for personal services 

rendered while on the payroll of a 

business or organization.

Sales and services Revenues derived 

from the sales of goods or services that 

are incidental to the conduct of 

instruction, research, or public service. 

Examples include film rentals, scientific 

and literary publications, testing 

services, university presses, and dairy 

products.

Scholarships and fellowships This

category of college expenditures applies 

only to money given in the form of 

outright grants and trainee stipends to 

individuals enrolled in formal

coursework, either for credit or not. Aid 

to students in the form of tuition or fee 

remissions is included. College workstudy funds are excluded and are 

reported under the program in which the 

student is working. Loans to students are 

also not included. In the tabulations in 

this volume, Pell Grants are not included

in this expenditure category.

Tuition and fees A payment or charge 

for instruction or compensation for 

services, privileges, or the use of 

equipment, books, or other goods.

Undergraduate A student enrolled in a 

4- or 5-year bachelor's degree program, 

an associate's degree program, or a 

vocational or technical program below 

the baccalaureate.

Appendix C: Technical Notes 

Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System

The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) surveys approximately

10,000 postsecondary institutions, including universities and colleges, as well as 

institutions offering technical and vocational education beyond the high school level. This 

survey, which began in 1986, replaced the Higher Education General Information Survey

(HEGIS). IPEDS consists of nine integrated components that obtain information on who 

provides postsecondary education (institutions), who participates in it and completes it 

(students), what programs are offered and what programs are completed, and both the

human and financial resources involved in the provision of institutionally based 

postsecondary education. Specifically, these components include: Institutional

Characteristics; Fall Enrollment; Completions; Employees Assigned by Position; Finance;

Fall Staff; Faculty Salaries; Graduation Rate; Employees by Assigned Position and

Student Financial Aid. Only the components that were used in this report are briefly

described below.

Prior to 1993, data from the technical and vocational institutions were collected through a 

sample survey. Beginning in 1993, all data are gathered in a census of all postsecondary

institutions. The tabulations on "Institutional Characteristics" used in this report are based 

on lists of all institutions and are not subject to sampling errors. According to Section 490 

of the Higher Education Amendments of 1992 (P. L. 102-325), IPEDS is mandatory for 

any institutions that participate in or are applicants for participation in any federal

financial assistance program authorized by Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 

as amended (20 USC 1094 (a)(17). For the Spring 2002 data collection, the overall 

response rate was 98.6 percent for degree-granting institutions (includes those eligible for 

Title IV federal financial aid programs that grant an associate’s or higher degree) and

98.6 percent for non-degree-granting institutions. In addition, other postsecondary 

institutions that do not participate in Title IV are invited to participate.

The definition of institutions generally thought of as offering college and university 

education has been changed in recent years. The old standard for higher education 

institutions included those institutions that had courses that led to an associate degree or 

higher, or were accepted for credit towards those degrees. Higher education institutions

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 current category 

includes institutions which award associate or higher-level degrees that are eligible to 

participate in Title IV federal financial aid programs. Time-series tables may contain data 

from both series. The impact of this change has generally not been large. For example,

108
tables on faculty salaries and benefits were only affected to a very small extent. Also, 

degrees awarded at the bachelor's level or higher were not heavily affected. The largest

impact has been on private 2-year college enrollment. In contrast, most of the data on 

public 4-year colleges has been affected only to a minimal extent. The impact on 

enrollment in public 2-year colleges was noticeable in certain states, but relatively small at 

the national level. Overall, enrollment for all institutions was about one-half a percent

higher for degree-granting institutions compared to the total for higher education 

institutions.

Prior to the establishment of IPEDS in 1986, HEGIS acquired and maintained statistical 

data on the characteristics and operations of institutions of higher education. Implemented 

in 1966, HEGIS was an annual universe survey of institutions accredited at the college

level by an agency recognized by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education.

These institutions were listed in NCES's Education Directory, Colleges and Universities.

HEGIS surveys solicited information concerning institutional characteristics, faculty

salaries, finances, enrollment, and degrees. Since these surveys were distributed to all 

higher education institutions, the data presented are not subject to sampling error.

However, they are subject to nonsampling error, the sources of which varied with the 

survey instrument. Information concerning the nonsampling error of the enrollment and 

degrees surveys draws extensively on the HEGIS Post-Survey Validation Study conducted

in 1979. 

Nonsampling Errors

Although universe data are not subject to sampling errors, nonsampling errors may arise 

when respondents or interviewers interpret questions differently, when respondents must

estimate values, or when coders, keyers, and other processors handle answers differently,

when persons who should be included in the universe are not, or when persons fail to

respond (completely or partially). Nonsampling errors usually, but not always, result in an 

understatement of total survey error and thus an overstatement of the precision of survey

estimates. Since estimating the magnitude of nonsampling errors often would require 

special experiments or access to independent data, these nonsampling errors are seldom 

available.

To compensate for nonresponse, adjustments of the sample estimates are often made. An 

adjustment made for either type of nonresponse, total or partial, is often referred to as an 

imputation, which is often a substitution of the "average" questionnaire response for the 

nonresponse. Imputations are usually made separately within various groups of surveyed

members that have similar survey characteristics. Imputation for item nonresponse is 

usually made by substituting for a missing item, the response to that item of a respondent

having characteristics that are similar to those of the nonrespondent.

Institutional Characteristics

This survey provides the basis for the universe of institutions presented in the IPEDS

COOL online directory. The survey collects basic information necessary to classify the

institutions including control, level, and kinds of programs; and information on tuition, 

fees, and room and board charges. The survey collects institutional pricing data from

institutions with first-time, full-time, degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students.

Unduplicated full-year enrollment counts and instructional activity are now collected on the 

Fall Enrollment survey. The overall response rate for fall 2002 was 99.2 percent for Title 

IV degree-granting institutions.

Fall Enrollment 

This survey has been part of the HEGIS and IPEDS series since 1966. The 2001 overall

response rate was 97.9 percent for Title IV degree-granting institutions. For all institutions

that did not report in 2001, data from the previous year were used as 2001 estimates. Major

sources of nonsampling error for this survey as identified in the 1979 report were 

classification problems, the unavailability of needed data, interpretation of definitions, the 

survey due date, and operational errors. Of these, the classification of students appears to

have been the main source of error. Institutions had problems in correctly classifying

first-time freshmen and other first-time students for both full-time and part-time

categories.

110
Beginning with fall 1986, the survey system was redesigned with the introduction of 

IPEDS (see above). The survey allows (in alternating years) for the collection of age and 

residence data. In 2000, the Enrollment survey collected the instructional activity and

unduplicated headcount data, which are needed to compute a standardized, full-time

equivalent (FTE) enrollment statistic for the entire academic year. Starting in 2001, 

unduplicated headcount by level of student, and by race/ethnicity and gender of student 

was instituted, as was the total number of students in the entering class. Institutions were 

asked to report race/ethnicity data in the following seven categories: White, nonHispanic; Black, non-Hispanic; Hispanic; Asian/Pacific Islander; American

Indian/Alaska Native; race/ethnicity unknown; and non-resident alien. The response rate 

for the Spring 2002 data collection was 94.9 percent.

Salaries

This institutional survey has been conducted for most years from 1966-67 to 1987-88, and 

annually since 1989-90. Although the survey form changed a number of times during 

those years, only comparable data are presented in this report.

Between 1966-67 and 1985-86 this survey differed from other HEGIS surveys in that

imputations were not made for nonrespondents. Thus, there is some possibility that the 

salary averages presented in this report may differ from the results of a complete 

enumeration of all colleges and universities. Beginning with the surveys for 1987-88, the 

IPEDS data tabulation procedures included imputations for survey nonrespondents. The 

response rate for the 2001-02 survey was 93.8 percent for Title IV degree-granting 

institutions. Because of the higher response rate for public colleges, it is probable that the

public colleges' salary data are more accurate than the data for private colleges. Although 

data from these surveys are not subject to sampling error, sources of nonsampling error

may include computational errors and misclassification in reporting and processing. NCES 

reviews individual colleges' data for internal and longitudinal consistency and contacts the 

colleges to check inconsistent data. The response rate for the winter 2001-02 survey was 

93.8 percent for Title IV degree-granting institutions.

Completions

This survey was part of the HEGIS series throughout its existence. However, the degree

classification taxonomy was revised in 1970-71, 1982-83, and 1991-92. Collection of 

degree data has been maintained through the IPEDS system.

Though information from survey years 1970-71 through 1981-82 is directly comparable,

care must be taken if information before or after that period is included in any comparison.

Degrees-conferred trend tables arranged by the 1991-92 classification are included in this

report to provide consistent data from 1970-71 to the most recent year. Data in this edition

on associate and other formal awards below the baccalaureate, by field of study, cannot be 

made comparable with figures prior to 1982-83. Also, the collection of racial/ethnic data 

did not begin until 1975-76, and the collection method changed in 1990. The nonresponse 

rate did not appear to be a significant source of nonsampling error for this survey. The 

return rate over the years has been high, with the degree-granting institutions response rate

for the 2000-01 survey at 92.3 percent. The overall response rate for the nondegree 

granting institutions was 84.4 percent in 1999-2000. Because of the high return rate for the 

degree-granting institutions, nonsampling error caused by imputation is also minimal.

The major sources of nonsampling error for this survey were differences between the 

NCES program taxonomy and taxonomies used by the colleges, classification of double

majors, operational problems, and survey timing. In the 1979 HEGIS validation study, 

these sources of nonsampling contributed to an error rate of 0.3 percent overreporting of 

bachelor's degrees and 1.3 percent overreporting of master's degrees. The differences,

however, varied greatly among fields. Over 50 percent of the fields selected for the

validation study had no errors identified. Categories of fields that had large differences

were business and management, education, engineering, letters, and psychology. It was 

also shown that differences in proportion to the published figures were less than 1 percent

for most of the selected fields that had some errors. The response rate for the fall 2002 data 

collection was 96.9 percent for Title IV degree-granting institutions.

Finance

This survey was part of the HEGIS series and has been continued under the IPEDS 

system. Changes were made in the financial survey instruments in fiscal years (FY) 1976, 

1982, and 1987. The FY 76 survey instrument contained numerous revisions to earlier 

survey forms and made direct comparisons of line items very difficult. Beginning in FY 

82, Pell Grant data were collected in the categories of federal restricted grants and contracts 

revenues and restricted scholarships and fellowships expenditures. The introduction of 

IPEDS in the FY 87 survey included several important changes to the survey instrument 

and data processing procedures. While these changes were significant, considerable effort 

has been made to present only comparable information on trends in this report and to note 

inconsistencies. Finance tables for this publication have been adjusted by subtracting the

largely duplicative Pell Grant amounts from the later data to maintain comparability with 

pre-FY 82 data. 

Possible sources of nonsampling error in the financial statistics include nonresponse,

imputation, and misclassification. The response rate has been about 85 to 90 percent for

most of the years. The response rate for the Spring 2002 data collection was 93.4 percent

for all institutions (95.3 percent for degree-granting and 82.7 percent for non-degreegranting).

Two general methods of imputation were used in HEGIS. If the prior year's data were

available for a nonresponding institution, these data were inflated using the Higher

Education Price Index and adjusted according to changes in enrollments. If no previous 

year's data were available, current data were used from peer institutions selected for

location (state or region), control, level, and enrollment size of institution. In most cases 

estimates for nonreporting institutions in IPEDS were made using data from peer 

institutions.

Beginning with FY 87, the IPEDS survey system included all postsecondary institutions, 

but maintained comparability with earlier surveys by allowing 2- and 4-year institutions to 

be tabulated separately. For FY 87 through FY 91, in order to maintain comparability with 

the historical time series of HEGIS institutions, data were combined from two of the three 

different survey forms that make up the IPEDS survey system. The vast majority of the 

data were tabulated from form 1 (the “short form”), which was used to collect information

113
from public and private not-for-profit 2- and 4-year colleges. Form 2 (the “consolidated

form”) was used to gather data for the 2-year for-profit institutions. Because of the 

differences in the data requested on the two forms, several assumptions were made about

the form 2 reports so that their figures could be included in the degree-granting institutions 

totals.

In IPEDS, the form 2 institutions were not asked to separate appropriations from grants and

contracts, nor state from local sources of funding. For the form 2 institutions, all the 

federal revenues were assumed to be federal grants and contracts, and all of the state and 

local revenues were assumed to be restricted state grants and contracts. All other form 2

sources of revenue, except for tuition and fees and sales and services of educational 

activities, were included under "other." Similar adjustments were made to the expenditure

accounts. The form 2 institutions reported instruction and scholarship and fellowship

expenditures only. All other educational and general expenditures were allocated to 

academic support. 

For the academic year 1996-97, the format used to collect finance data for private, not-forprofit institutions changed to accommodate changes in accounting standards. The 

Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued statements of accounting standards

requiring the format of general purpose financial statements for private, not-for-profit

organizations including higher education institutions to change, causing finance data 

collected prior to 1996-97 to be inconsistent with data collected in 1996–97 and after.

To reduce reporting error, NCES uses national standards for reporting finance statistics.

These standards are contained in College and University Business Administration:

Administrative Services (1974 Edition), and the Financial Accounting and Reporting

Manual for Higher Education (1990 Edition), published by the National Association of 

College and University Business Officers; Audits of Colleges and Universities (as amended

August 31, 1974), by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants; and HEGIS

Financial Reporting Guide (1980), by NCES. Wherever possible, definitions and formats 

in the survey form are consistent with those in these four accounting texts.

Fall Staff

The fall staff data presented in this publication were collected by NCES through the IPEDS

system, which collected data from postsecondary institutions, including all 2- and 4-year

degree-granting education institutions. NCES collects staff data biennially in odd 

numbered years from all Title IV postsecondary institutions that have 15 or more full-time 

employees. In 1993, this survey replaced the EEO-6 survey conducted by the Equal 

Employment Opportunity Commission. 

Respondents reported the employment statistics in their institution as of November 1. The 

“Fall Staff, 1999” survey had an overall response rate of 94.8 percent for degree-granting

institutions. Data collection for 1999 differed from earlier methods. For all institutions 

that did not respond to the survey, data from the 1997 survey were used as estimates for fall 

1999. The response rate for the Winter 2001-02 data collection was 97.6 percent for all

Title IV degree-granting institutions.

Student Financial Aid 

This component of the survey has two parts—a section on student counts and one on 

financial aid. Student counts are collected based on fall enrollment and public institutions 

are asked to provide additional counts by in-district, in-state, and out-of-state students.

Student counts are based on a cohort and will differ depending on calendar year. The 

number of full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates students who 

received any financial aid during the academic year is collected. Further, for each of four 

types of aid, the number (in the cohort) of full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking

undergraduates receiving the aid and the average amount of aid received are collected. The 

four types of aid are federal grants, state/local grants, institutional grants, and loans to 

students. The response rate for the Spring 2002 data collection was 93.4 percent for Title 

IV degree-granting institutions.
