a This table reports sum of counts imputed in each of these cells/variables. Because some units report totals without complete details, sum of imputed details will often be higher than related total.
NOTES: In 2014, the survey frame was updated following a comprehensive frame evaluation study. The study identified potentially eligible but not previously surveyed academic institutions in the United States with master's- or doctorate-granting programs in science, engineering, or health. A total of 151 newly eligible institutions were added, and two private for-profit institutions offering mostly practitioner-based graduate degrees were determined to be ineligible.
