Book Description
This "First Look" presents findings from the provisional data of the IPEDS winter 2014-15 data collection, which included four survey components: (1) Graduation Rates (GR); (2) 200 Percent Graduation Rates (GR200); (3) Student Financial Aid (SFA); and (4) Admissions (ADM). GR and GR200 present graduation rates for selected cohorts within 100, 150, and 200 percent of normal program completion time (e.g., "normal" program completion time for a bachelor's degree would be 4 years). SFA collects the number of undergraduate students awarded aid as well as the amount of the aid awarded to those students. ADM collects information about the undergraduate selection process for entering first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students. Data for these components were collected through the IPEDS web-based data collection system. Though fielded during the same collection period, each survey component collected data on different groups of individuals (e.g., cohorts starting at a specific time). The purpose of this report is to introduce new data through tables containing descriptive information. The findings presented here demonstrate the range of information available through IPEDS. The following are appended: (1) Data Collection Procedures; and (2) Glossary of IPEDS Terms.
