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). Sometimes Data File entries are combined into an umbrella major, e.g., a "Spanish major" is counted if there is a Data File entry for either 16.0905 (Spanish Language and Literature) or 16.0908 (Hispanic and Latin American Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics, General), but not 16.0900 (Romance Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics, General).
