** Beginning in Fall 1999, the use of program codes to indentify students pursuing careers in elementary and secondary education was discontinued and replaced with the 59 major code for elementary education and an 'E' extension to a student's Liberal Arts and Science major code for secondary  education (TEP). Beginning in Fall 1999, secondary education enrollments are the sum of the counts for the Liberal Arts and Science 'E' majors. Unduplicated School Totals: Students who has double majors in the school of Arts and Sciences will only be counted once.
