Description:
The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) provides data on colleges, universities, and technical and vocational postsecondary institutions in the United States.
The point-level community college locations data on PolicyMap consist of all the institutions in the IPEDS’ universe classified as 2-but-less-than-4-year or less than 2-year. The 4-year colleges and universities data consist of all institutions in the IPEDS’ universe classified as four or more years. Most of the data in these datasets is for the 2016-2017 academic year (with enrollment data applying to Fall of 2016). Graduation rates, however, apply to August of 2016. Data regarding institutions’ financial performance reflect Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) reporting. PolicyMap downloaded these data from the IPEDS data center in August 2018. The latitude and longitude of the points were provided by the source.
