NATIONAL CENTER FOR EDUCATION STATISTICS

What Is IPEDS?

The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) is a system of survey components that collects data from about 7,500 institutions that provide postsecondary education across the United States. IPEDS collects institution-level data on student enrollment, graduation rates, student charges, program completions, faculty, staff, and finances.

These data are used at the federal and state level for policy analysis and development; at the institutional level for benchmarking and peer analysis; and by students and parents, through the College Navigator (http://collegenavigator.ed.gov), an online tool to aid in the college search process. For more information about IPEDS, see http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds.

What Is the Purpose of This Report?

The Data Feedback Report is intended to provide institutions a context for examining the data they submitted to IPEDS. The purpose of this report is to provide institutional executives a useful resource and to help improve the quality and comparability of IPEDS data.

What Is in This Report?

As suggested by the IPEDS Technical Review Panel, the figures in this report provide selected indicators for your institution and a comparison group of institutions. The figures are based on data collected during the 2014-15 IPEDS collection cycle and are the most recent data available. This report provides a list of pre-selected comparison group institutions and the criteria used for their selection. Additional information about these indicators and the pre- selected comparison group are provided in the Methodological Notes at the end of the report.

Where Can I Do More with IPEDS Data?

Each institution can access previous Data Feedback Reports as far back as 2005 and customize this latest report by using a different comparison group and IPEDS variables of its choosing. To download archived reports or customize the current Data Feedback Report (DFR), please visit our web site at http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/Home/UseTheData.

COMPARISON GROUP

Comparison group data are included to provide a context for interpreting your institution’s statistics. If your institution did not define a custom comparison group for this report by July 17, NCES selected a comparison group for you. (In this case, the characteristics used to define the comparison group appears below.) The Customize Data Feedback Report functionality on the IPEDS Data Center (http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/datacenter/) can be used to reproduce the figures in this report using different peer groups.

For customized Data Feedback Reports, test scores are presented only if they are required for admission. The value for the comparison institution is compared to the median value for the comparison group for each statistic included in the figure. If more than one statistic is presented in a figure, the median values are Average Institutional Net Price determined separately for each indicator or statistic. Medians are not reported for comparison groups with fewer than three values.

Equated Instructional Non-Medical Staff Salaries Total Entering Undergraduate Students

Institutions reported total salary outlays by academic rank and gender, and Total entering students are students at the undergraduate level, both full- the number of staff by academic rank, contract length (9-, 10-, 11-, and 12- and part-time, new to the institution in the fall term (or the prior summer month contracts), and gender. The total number of months covered by term who returned in the fall). This includes all first-time undergraduate salary outlays was calculated by multiplying the number of staff reported students, students transferring into the institution at the undergraduate for each contract length period by the number of months of the contract, level, and non-degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates entering in the and summing across all contract length periods. The weighted average fall. Only degree-granting, academic year reporting institutions provide total monthly salary for each academic rank and gender was calculated by entering student data. dividing the total salary outlays by the total number of months covered. The weighted average monthly salary was then multiplied by 9 to determine an equated 9-month salary for each rank. Tuition and Required Fees

Tuition is defined as the amount of money charged to students for FTE Enrollment instructional services, and required fees are those fixed sum charges to students for items not covered by tuition that are required of such a large The full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollment used in this report is the sum of proportion of all students that the student who does not pay the charge is the institution’s FTE undergraduate enrollment and FTE graduate an exception. The amounts used in this report are for full-time, first-time enrollment (as calculated from or reported on the 12-month Enrollment degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates and are those used by the component). Undergraduate and graduate FTE are estimated using 12- financial aid office to determine need. For institutions that have differential month instructional activity (credit and/or contact hours). See “Calculation tuition rates for in-district or in-state students, the lowest tuition rate is used of FTE Students (using instructional activity)” in the IPEDS Glossary at in the figure. Only institutions that operate on standard academic terms will http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/glossary/. have tuition figures included in their report.

FTE Staff Additional Methodological Information

The full-time-equivalent (FTE) of staff is calculated by summing the total Additional methodological information on the IPEDS components can be number of full-time staff and adding one-third of the total number of part- found in the publications available at time staff. Graduate assistants are not included. http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/getpubcats.asp?sid=010. Additional definitions of variables used in this report can be found in the Graduation Rates and Transfer-out Rate IPEDS online glossary available at http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/glossary/.

Graduation rates are those developed to satisfy the requirements of the Student Right-to-Know Act and Higher Education Act, as amended, and are defined as the total number of individuals from a given cohort of full- time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates who completed a degree or certificate within a given percent of normal time to complete all requirements of the degree or certificate program before the ending status date of August 31, 2014; divided by the total number of students in the cohort of full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates minus any allowable exclusions. Institutions are permitted to exclude from the cohort students who died or were totally and permanently disabled; those who left school to serve in the armed forces or were called up to active duty; those who left to serve with a foreign aid service of the federal government, such as the ; and those who left to serve on an official church mission. Transfer-out rate is the total number of students from the cohort who are known to have transferred out of the reporting institution (without earning a degree/award) and subsequently re-enrolled at another institution within the same time period; divided by the same adjusted cohort (initial cohort minus allowable exclusions) as described above. Only institutions with a mission that includes providing substantial preparation for students to enroll in another eligible institution are required to report transfers out.

Retention Rates

Full-time retention rates is a measure of the rate at which students persist in their educational program at an institution, expressed as a percentage. For four-year institutions, this is the percentage of first-time bachelors (or equivalent) degree-seeking undergraduates from the previous fall who are again enrolled in the current fall. For all other institutions this is the percentage of first-time degree/certificate-seeking students from the previous fall who either re-enrolled or successfully completed their program by the current fall. The full-time retention rate is calculated using the percentage of full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates, while the part-time rate is calculated using the percentage of part-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates.
