Good to know
Before you use it
- Only active schools that grant degrees are included; schools that award only certificates are not.
- AdmissionRate is the percent of fall 2023 applicants who were admitted. It is empty for open-admission schools and others that don't report it.
- InStateTuition and OutOfStateTuition are published tuition and required fees for full-time undergraduates in 2023-24, in dollars. Private colleges charge both groups the same.
- UnitID is the Department of Education's ID, so you can join this to other IPEDS data.
- In every format, dates are written as yyyy-MM-dd, and yes/no values as true or false. An empty value means nothing was recorded.
