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.

  • A Cautionary Tale: Looking for Money

    A Cautionary Tale: Looking for Money

    A Cautionary Tale: Looking for Money When money is an issue, students need to be strategic about where they apply to college. Syracuse University I am sharing a story of a young man from Los Angeles from a couple of years ago that illustrates why the common practice of applying to a bunch of schools without considering whether aid is a realistic option is a dangerous strategy. The teenager, who wants to major in journalism, was super excited when he got into his dream school – Syracuse University in upstate New York. His parents, on the other hand, were stressing. Getting Stiffed by Syracuse The affluent family’s expected family contribution was roughly $30,000. As you learned in the lesson entitled, Why An EFC Is Important, an EFC is what a family would be expected to pay, at a minimum, for one year at Syracuse or any other school. Since tuition and room/board at this research university cost more than $54,000 at the time and books, travel, and incidentals boosted that price, that would leave room for Syracuse to give this student some need-based financial aid or more likely a merit award. But the teen got nothing. When I heard this, I asked about the teen’s academic profile and the mom said he had about a 3.4 GPA. I’d suggest that the student’s academic profile could at least partially explain why he was stiffed. Most schools give their best awards to the students who will help them move up in the US News & World Report rankings.
