"Minority" refers to underrepresented minorities (i.e., Black Americans, Puerto Ricans, Mexican Americans, and Native Americans).
"New" refers to new graduate students enrolled for the first time in the Graduate School.
"Non-Resident" refers to students who are in non-resident doctoral dissertation status.

Many students receive partial support from one or more sources. Therefore, the total number of students receiving support from any source may exceed the total number of graduate students. The term "EFS" refers to an equivalent number of fully supported students, and is computed by dividing the total tuition support by the academic year tuition of $20,100 per student.
Billings to outside sponsors were not available and are therefore not included in the total identified support.
Summer tuition support of $15.6M and stipend support of $9.1M should also be noted.

Applicants to these programs who are subsequently admitted are included in a departmental admissions total. For example,
applicants to the Real Estate Development Program are admitted to the Department of Architecture or the Department of
Urban Studies and Planning, and are tabulated in the admissions statistics of one or the other of those two departments.
