3Institutions that awarded 20 or more master's degrees but less than 20 doctor's degrees during the previous academic year. This definition differs from the definition of master's institutions that is used in some Digest tables that present postsecondary finance data.
NOTE: Data in this table represent the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Data include imputations for nonrespondent institutions. Data exclude instructional faculty at medical schools. Data are for degree-granting institutions and U.S. service academies. Degree-granting institutions grant associate’s or higher degrees and participate in Title IV federal financial aid programs. Data include imputations for nonrespondent institutions. Separate data for instructional faculty on 9-month contracts were not available prior to 2016-17. Therefore, this table reports combined data for faculty on 9-month and 10-month contracts. Some data have been revised from previously published figures.
