Note: Due to rounding, totals in each column may not sum exactly to 100%.

Percentages listed in the "Professional Degree" column refer only to students seeking their first professional degree.

The "Any Disability" row gives the percent of students in a degree program who reported a disability. For example, out of all Masters students, 7.4% reported a disability. The rest of the disability types listed in the rows represent a percent distribution of students who reported a disability.

To calculate the percent of all students in a particular degree program who reported a certain disability type, multiply the percent given for students in a particular degree program who reported a certain disability by the percent of all students in the degree program who reported any disability and divide the result by 100. Example:Calculate the percent of doctoral students who reported a hearing impairment. This calculation would be: (6.8x9.0)/100=0.612% which is less than 1%.
