1. Information on majors and programs of study is from the Completions Data File, 2011-12 (Provisional release) as reported by the National Center for Education Statistics (http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds). Top majors are the ones that have the most conferred degrees. If it says "is in" rather than just "is", then various top majors were combined into a new attribute. For example, colleges whose top major is "in engineering" will include a college whose top major is chemical engineering, another whose top major is electrical engineering, and so on.
   

Massachusetts Maritime Academy is in Buzzards Bay, MA, is public, is in the New England Football Conference, degree-granting, offers on-campus housing, has its top major in engineering, requires test scores for undergrad admissions, is on a four-one-four calendar, its top Masters major is securities services administration/management, and enrolls from 1,000 to 4,999 students.
