1 Count based on students using Veterans Affairs Department and Defense Department benefits.
2 Military students not charged above TA cap, but non-military may be.
3 Unduplicated, 12-month headcount for 2013-14, instead of fall 2013 enrollment.
4 Estimated enrollment from Education.
5 The survey response from Georgia Perimeter College, which is No. 58 on our 4-year schools list, indicated that the college offered bachelor’s degrees, and it was categorized as a 4-year school. The school later told us it does not offer any 4-year degrees, which would have placed it on this list.
