a In 2007, eligible fields were reclassified, newly eligible fields were added, and survey was redesigned to improve coverage and coding of eligible units. "2007new" presents data
as collected in 2007; "2007old" shows data as they would have been collected in prior years. Science fields "communication" and "family and consumer sciences/human sciences"
are newly eligible; data for these two fields are only in 2007new. Science field "multidisciplinary/interdisciplinary studies" is also newly eligible; data may have been reported under
other fields before 2007. "Neuroscience" is reported as separate field of science in 2007new; data were reported under health field "neurology" in 2007old and previous years.
"Architecture" is reported as separate field of engineering in 2007new; data were reported under "civil engineering" in 2007old and previous years. See appendix A in
http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/nsf10307/ for more detail.
b Reporting of ethnicity and race in 2008–10 has been affected by changes in reporting of ethnicity and race in Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). Starting
in 2008 IPEDS respondents were asked to use new classification that included category for two or more races (see http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/reic/resource.asp) and separate
reporting of Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders from Asians. New classification was optional in 2008 and 2009 IPEDS but mandatory in 2010 and may have contributed
to significant increase in reporting of "Not Hispanic or Latino, More than one race."
c Beginning with 2008, more rigorous follow-up was done with institutions regarding exclusion of practitioner-oriented graduate degree programs in psychology and in other health
(a subfield of health). This change may affect interpretation of trends in these fields.
