Abstract | The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) is a system of surveys designed to collect data from all providers of postsecondary education. It is the core postsecondary education data collection program within the Department of Education. This discussion describes the IPEDS, its scope, and component surveys. Postsecondary education is defined as provision of a formal instructional program with a curriculum designed primarily for students beyond the compulsory age for high school, whether academic, vocational or continuing professional education. Excluded are avocational and adult basic education programs. The IPEDS survey universe contains about 11,000 postsecondary schools, broadly grouped as baccalaureate or higher degree institutions, two-year institutions, and less than two-year institutions. The IPEDS surveys provide data used for trend analysis and the reporting of institutional characteristics for planning and policy purposes. The surveys are: (1) Institutional Characteristics; (2) a financial survey; (3) a survey of salaries, tenure, and benefits of full-time faculty; (4) the "Fall Staff" survey of employees; (5) an enrollment survey; and (6) the completions survey. The availability of IPEDS data is outlined, with instructions for Internet retrieval. (SLD) |
