- Debt only includes federal loans. Private loans and credit cards are not counted.
- Some schools with several campuses report one combined figure for all of them. We count each of those schools once, and leave them out of Texas comparisons when their main campus is in another state.

- School-level numbers like tuition, admission rate, and graduation rate are for the whole school, not the other interdisciplinary studies program.
