Beginning with this 1998-99 table for New York City, each institution is counted once, at the location of the main campus, regardless of the number of branches.  This change is consistent with the procedure used over the years for counting the number of institutions for the entire state.  Previously, the New York City count included certain branches.

The following changes were made to the 1997-98 institution count to create the 1998-1999 institution count:

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, graduate only, independent, Suffolk County

Christie's Education, Inc., four-year proprietary offering only master's programs, New York City
