1The number of full-time equivalent (FTE) students in public education programs which prepare students for gainful employment which does not require a baccalaureate degree. The Superintendent of Public Instruction and the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges use somewhat different methods to calculate FTEs, but the difference is small.
2Most of the decline from the previous year is likely due to changes in how the students are reported.
3The method for counting the number of private vocational students changed in 2002-03.
