TABLE F-1 Distributions of Minority Serving Institutions by Sector

NOTES:

1. Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) data, collection year 2015, were used to create the list of institutions throughout this report for analysis run by the American Council on Education. Data in this report reflect Title IV participating, degree-granting, public and private, nonprofit, two-year and four-year institutions that offered undergraduate degrees. College Scorecard 2015-2016 data were used to flag institutions that were eligible to apply for federal MSI funding in that given fiscal year through Title III and Title V of the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008. Out of 3,129 total institutions, 714 were eligible for MSI designation. Of these institutions, 76 were eligible for more than one MSI designation.
2. Institutions were classified into a sector based on the institutional category variable and control variable in IPEDS. Within institutional category, all institutions categorized as degree-granting, primarily baccalaureate or above institutions were classified as four-year institutions, and all institutions categorized as degree-granting, not primarily baccalaureate or above and degree-granting, associate’s and certificates institutions were classified as two-year institutions. The control variable was used to classify institutions as public or private nonprofit.

1. IPEDS data, collection year 2015, were used to create the list of institutions throughout this report for analysis run by the American Council on Education. Data in this report reflect Title IV participating, degree-granting, public and private, nonprofit, two-year and four-year institutions that offered undergraduate degrees.

Out of 3,129 total institutions, 714 were eligible for MSI designation. Of these institutions, 76 were eligible for more than one MSI designation.
2. Total completions includes the following credentials: prebaccalaureate certificates, associate degrees, bachelor’s degrees, postbaccalaureate certificates, master’s degrees, and doctoral degrees.
3. For completions, the racial category “other” is defined as the combination of “nonresident,” “race unknown,” and “two or more races.” Race reporting varies across years in the IPEDS, so information pertaining to Pacific Islanders is not available for all years and would be combined with counts for Asian American students.
4. For the completions data, all Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) codes were converted to current CIP codes using available crosswalks, before applying the classifications based on the NSF taxonomy. The following CIP code conversion required for some IPEDS data files prior to 2004 was added to the crosswalk to convert 1990s to 2000s CIP codes: 8.0199, 8.0299, 8.0899, 8.1299 to 52.19. For the completions data, counts were collapsed across majornum 1 and 2. Completion degree type codes changed slightly in 2010 and later versions of the data, so slightly different groupings were used. For completions data prior to 2010: “3”=Associate, “5”=Bachelor, “7”=Master, “9”=Doctor, “10”=Doctor, “1”=Pre-BA Certificate, “2”=Pre-BA Certificate, “4”=Pre-BA Certificate, “6”=Post-BA Certificate, “8”=Post-BA Certificate, and “11”=Post-BA Certificate. For completions data from 2010 and later: “3”=Associate, “5”=Bachelor, “7”=Master, “17”=Doctor, “18”=Doctor, “19”=Doctor, “1”=Pre-BA Certificate, “2”=Pre-BA Certificate, “4”=Pre-BA Certificate, “6”=Post-BA Certificate, and “8”=Post-BA Certificate.
5. For all but a few runs, data were not filtered using the First Look Report criteria. The First Look Report uses provisional IPEDS data, and therefore totals may be slightly different from those reported in other federal reports, though these differences will be minor.

4. Classification of CIP codes into Science and Engineering categories was based on the fields of study classification found in the National Science Foundation’s (NSF’s) “Science and Engineering Degrees: 1966–2012,” appendix B, with additions made to cover CIP codes found in the IPEDS completions data that were not included in the NSF taxonomy.
