IPEDS Submissions

The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) has established the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) as its core postsecondary education data collection program (prior to IPEDS some of the same information was collected by the Higher Education General Information Survey-HEGIS). It is a single, comprehensive system that encompasses all identified institutions whose primary purpose is to provide postsecondary education.

IPEDS consists of institution-level data that can be used to describe trends in postsecondary education at the institution, state and/or national levels. For example, researchers can use IPEDS to analyze information on 1) enrollments of students, undergraduate, first-time freshmen, graduate and first-professional students by race/ethnicity and gender; 2) institutional revenue and expenditure patterns by source of income and type of expense; 3) salaries of full-time instructional faculty by academic rank and tenure status; 4) completions (awards) by type of program, level of award, race/ethnicity, and gender: 5) characteristics of postsecondary institutions, including tuition, room and board charges, calendar systems, etc.; 6) status of postsecondary vocational education programs; and 7) other issues of interest.

The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) Peer Analysis System is a tool designed to enable a user to compare a postsecondary institution of the user’s choice - termed the LinchPin in this system - to a group of peer institutions which are also selected by the user. Such comparisons are done by generating reports using selected variables from the IPEDS variables of interest.
