Common Data Set

The Common Data Set (CDS) initiative is a collaborative effort among data providers in the higher education community and publishers as represented by the College Board, Peterson's, and U.S. News & World Report. The combined goal of this collaboration is to improve the quality and accuracy of information provided to all involved in a student's transition into higher education, as well as to reduce the reporting burden on data providers.
 

 

Note: The CDS includes traditional-age undergraduate students only. Adult learners, included in our IPEDS enrollment reports, are not presented in the CDS.
