FB96 UNDERGRADUATE MAJORS FALL 1984 - 1995 Contact: factbook@bc.edu Date Posted: Oct 12 1995 ================================================================ NOTE: Due to the width of this table in the printed edition of the Fact Book and the limited width that Gopher can display legibly on the screen, the right half of this table has been separated and is shown below the left half (after the row of plus signs (+++++)). The two halves of the table can be easily reassembled in a spreadsheet program if desired. For instructions on how to do this, see the folder "Moving Fact Book Tables to MS Excel" in the main menu of the Gopher edition of the BC Fact Book.

Students with double or triple majors are therefore counted two and three times. Thus, adding the numbers in a column does not produce accurate enrollment totals. Evening College students are not included in this table. ** Prior to Fall 1988 separate totals for French, Italian and Spanish are not available. Source: Registrar
