Completions counts total awards conferred, summed across every credential level, from IPEDS.

How to read this. A larger school naturally confers more awards in a common program; this counts total completions, not selectivity. A campus that is part of one multi-campus system is shown as a single row when more than two of its campuses would otherwise appear.
