What this data cannot show

How a college is organized or accredited is not in NCES’s completions file: a college is of this type because of the degrees it reported, and a university’s whole count is here whichever of its schools awarded them.
First majors only. NCES counts a graduate with two majors under each; this counts each degree once, under the first.
Colleges that awarded the same number share a rank.
The 2025–26 collection is NCES’s newest. Its first release is provisional: institutions’ corrections arrive with the revised file about a year later. NCES imputes the awards of an institution that did not respond, and this table does not mark which.
2 institutions in Indiana in NCES’s file awarded 103 master’s degrees in business and are not ranked here, because they have no college page: they are outside NCES’s First Look universe of colleges that take federal student aid.
The state is the one NCES files the college under; a campus in another state is ranked there.
