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.
Every institution in New York in NCES’s file that awarded these degrees has a college page here, and is in the table.
The state is the one NCES files the college under; a campus in another state is ranked there.
