Enrolment is MINEDUCYT's count of students enrolled in the first term (Ciclo I) of 2023, by programme and campus, women and men — the newest enrolment workbook on the ministry's higher-education statistics page (published August 2024). The file has no total row: every total here is our sum of its rows.
Degree types are the ministry's. In El Salvador medicine and dental surgery are first degrees titled Doctorado, which the ministry records apart from postgraduate doctorates; Ingeniería and Arquitectura are degree titles, not fields.
4 rows of the workbook repeat a programme already listed at the same campus and degree type, with nothing to tell the rows apart; we add them together.
5 programmes are recorded with no students in Ciclo I 2023 and shown with 0.

Programmes on the October 2024 list
The ministry's list of programmes in force (“carreras vigentes”) is dated October 2024. For each programme it gives the modality, the sites where it is taught and the last term for which it is authorised — “2nd term of 2025” is the list's “Ciclo 02-2025”. Its asterisk means no validity detail is given (most of the Universidad de El Salvador's programmes); a few entries have no date at all. Dates are shown as recorded: the list does not say whether a programme has been renewed since, so it is not a statement of what is taught today.
