IPEDS. https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds. Accessed 22 July 2023.

  • Format – IPEDs provides data collected from colleges via surveys that can be downloaded as a CSV. Because of the amount of data collected, the website prevents it from adding more than 250 variables. Variables are considered to be a combination of year and type (ex: total number of students, total number of women, Is it a HBCU?), so because of our project’s timeline, data must be downloaded in ~5 year groupings. We have reformatted the data to include a column for year and are slowly formatting it for a timeline.
  • Rights – This data is owned by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), the statistics, research, and evaluation arm of the U.S. Department of Education. While the data can be accessed freely, it can only be used for research and statistical purposes, as specified on their website.
  • Privacy/ethics – All data found on the IPEDs website is a summary of a college, not any specific individual. It is meant to give a broad overview of universities around the United States.
