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 nearly 6,700 institutions that provide postsecondary education across the United States. IPEDS collects institution-level data on students (enrollment and 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), 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. Our goal is to produce a report that is useful to institutional executives and that may help improve the quality and comparability of IPEDS data.

What Is in This Report?

The figures provided in this report are those suggested by the IPEDS Technical Review Panel. They were developed to provide selected indicators and data elements for your institution and a comparison group of institutions. The figures are based on data collected during the 2009-10 IPEDS collection cycle and are the most recent data available. Additional information about these indicators is provided in the Methodological Notes at the end of the report. On the next page is a list of the institutions in your comparison group and the criteria used for their selection. Please refer to "Comparison Group" in the Methodological Notes for more information.

Where Can I Do More with IPEDS Data?

The Executive Peer Tool (ExPT) is designed to provide campus executives easy access to institutional and comparison group data. Using the ExPT, you can produce reports using different comparison groups and access a wider range of IPEDS variables. The ExPT is available through the IPEDS Data Center (http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/data center).

Texarkana College Texarkana, TX IPEDS DATA FEEDBACK REPORT

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 14, NCES selected a comparison group for you based on the institutional characteristics detailed immediately above the listing of the comparison group institutions. (If the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education was used as an institutional characteristic in the definition of a comparison group, the 2005 Basic version was used.) The comparison group used in this report may not reflect your institution’s peer group, or you may wish to compare your institution to other groups. The Executive Peer Tool (ExPT) (http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/datacenter/) can be used to reproduce the figures in this report using different peer groups.

The custom comparison group chosen by Texarkana College includes the following 10 institutions:

Angelina College (Lufkin, TX) Bossier Parish Community College (Bossier City, LA) Cossatot Community College of the University of Arkansas (De Queen, AR) Kilgore College (Kilgore, TX) Navarro College (Corsicana, TX) Northeast Texas Community College (Mount Pleasant, TX) Panola College (Carthage, TX) Paris Junior College (Paris, TX) Trinity Valley Community College (Athens, TX) Tyler Junior College (Tyler, TX)

Texarkana College 6 IPEDS DATA FEEDBACK REPORT

METHODOLOGICAL NOTES

Overview Cohort Determination for Reporting Student Financial Aid and Graduation Rates This report is based on data supplied by institutions to IPEDS during the 2009-10 survey year. Response rates exceeded 99 percent for most Student cohorts for reporting Student Financial Aid and Graduation Rates surveys. Detailed response tables are included in IPEDS First Look reports, data are based on the reporting type of the institution. For institutions that which can be found at report based on an academic year (those operating on standard academic http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/getpubcats.asp?sid=010. terms), student counts and cohorts are based on fall term data. Student counts and cohorts for program reporters (those that do not operate on Use of Median Values for Comparison Group standard academic terms) are based on unduplicated counts of students enrolled during a full 12-month period.

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 Description of Statistics Used in the Figures than one statistic is presented in a figure, the median values are determined separately for each indicator or statistic. Medians are not Average Net Price of Attendance reported for comparison groups with less than three values. Where percentage distributions are presented, median values may not add to 100 percent.

For all institutions, core expenses exclude expenses for auxiliary enterprises (e.g., bookstores, dormitories), hospitals, and independent operations. Expenses for operation and Disaggregation of Data by Race/Ethnicity maintenance of plant, depreciation, and interest for GASB institutions are included in other core expenses, but are allocated to each of the other When applicable, some statistics are disaggregated by race/ethnicity. functions for FASB institutions. Between survey years 2008-09 and 2010-11, the categories used for the collection and reporting of race/ethnicity data in IPEDS are transitioning to Core Revenues those developed in 1997 by the Office of Management and Budget, and institutions may report using either those categories, the older (1977) categories, or a mixture of both. Therefore, during the transition, only Core revenues for public institutions reporting under GASB standards derived categories that present comparable data will be displayed. Detailed include tuition and fees; government appropriations (federal, state, and information about these changes can be found at local); government grants and contracts; private gifts, grants, and http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/reic/resource.asp. contracts; investment income; other operating and nonoperating sources; and other revenues and additions. Core revenues for private, not-for-profit institutions (and a small number of public institutions) reporting under Postbaccalaureate Degree Categories FASB include tuition and fees; government appropriations (federal, state, and local); government grants and contracts; private gifts, grants, and contracts; investment return; sales and services of educational activities; In 2008-09 IPEDS, new postbaccalaureate degree categories were and other sources. Core revenues for private, for-profit institutions introduced as optional. The new categories are Doctor’s degree- reporting under FASB standards include tuition and fees; government Research/scholarship, Doctor’s degree-Professional practice, and Doctor’s appropriations (federal, state, and local); government grants and contracts; degree-Other. In addition, the First-professional degree and certificate private grants and contracts; net investment income; sales and services of categories and the single Doctor’s degree category are being phased out. educational activities; and other sources. In general, core revenues During the transition period, all First-professional students are reflected as exclude revenues from auxiliary enterprises (e.g., bookstores, dormitories), graduate students, all First-professional degrees awarded are reflected as hospitals, and independent operations. Doctor’s degrees, and all Doctor’s degrees reported under the new categories are aggregated under a single Doctor’s degree category, so that data reported by all institutions are comparable.
