The "Type" indicator is used to distinguish among government-controlled (i.e."Public") and non-profit/for-profit (i.e "Private"), degree-granting institutions of higher/post-secondary education. The California State University and, where applicable, its campus specific auxiliaries/foundations (PDF) are tracked in location-specific merged sponsor codes (e.g. CSU San Marcus and its Auxiliary share the same sponsor code). UC campuses/locations are excluded and are tracked in their own category.

Examples:
Kumamoto University 
Lehigh University
