IPEDS Data

The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) is a system of interrelated surveys conducted annually by the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). IPEDS gathers information from every college, university, and technical and vocational institution that participates in the federal student financial aid programs.

IPEDS gathers data in eight broad areas: institutional characteristics; institutional prices; admissions; enrollment; student financial aid; degrees and certificates conferred; student persistence and success; and institutional resources including human, resources, finance, and academic libraries. To learn more about IPEDS Survey components, visit https://nces.ed.gov/Ipeds/use-the-data/survey-components.

IPEDS data are widely used by federal and state agencies for policy analysis and planning, by institutions for benchmarking and peer comparison, and by students, parents, researchers, and other stakeholders for college search and higher education research.

Important Note: There is a time lag between IPEDS data collection and public data release. During a given collection cycle, institutions submit data for the previous academic year, while the IPEDS Data Center generally provides access to data from two academic years prior. For example, in the 2025-26 collection cycle, institutions reported 2024-25 data, while 2023-24 data were available for public use through the IPEDS website. To provide more timely access to institutional data, City Tech maintains a local archive of its most recent IPEDS survey submissions.
