- 1 The student enrollment figures provided by the United States Department of Education are for the 2011 school year, the most recent available. The enrollment figures include full-time and part-time students.
- 2 If a blank is presented in the arson column, it indicates that the FBI did not receive 12 complete months of arson data for that agency.
- NOTE: Caution should be exercised in making any intercampus comparisons or ranking schools because university/college crime statistics are affected by a variety of factors. These include demographic characteristics of the surrounding community, ratio of male to female students, number of on-campus residents, accessibility of the campus to outside visitors, size of enrollment, etc.
