What this list includes:

• Colleges and universities within the United States

• Enrollment is the sum of the headcount of undergraduate and graduate students
• Enrollment is counted by the Integrated Post-secondary Education System within the U.S. Department of Education.
• Enrollment is the 12-month unduplicated headcount, indicating the number of unique students who attended the university during the year.
