| * Analysis excludes colleges in this category with fewer than 1,000 students in fall 2004. | |||
| Note: Percentages are rounded, but institutions are ranked based on unrounded figures. Growth at some colleges reflects online-only students, who are not reported separately from students attending on campus. Categories shown are based on those issued by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching in 2005. "Research-intensive" includes the categories "very high research activity" and "high research activity" used in that taxonomy. | |||
