The data were gathered as part of an annual survey of the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) which gathers data from approximately 10,886 post secondary schools and branches. These institutions include 4-year colleges, 2-year colleges, and less-than-2-year colleges. The tables display the following information: (1) number of institutions by level and control of institutions and by state; (2) ntwaer of institutions by level and control or affiliation; (3) number of institutions by control and highest level of offering; (4) number and percent of institutions by control and all levels of offering; (5) number and percent of postsecondary institutions offering selected student services, by level and control of institutions; and (6) averaged institutional charges for tuition and fees and room and board for full-time, full-year students for 1992-93, 1991-92 and 1991-92/1992-93 compared. All tables contain data for the 50 states and the District of Columbia except for the first which includes data on the following outlying areas also: American Samoa, Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, Marshall Islands, Northern Marianas, Palau, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.

December 1993 Contact: Susan G. Broyles (202) 219-1359 Highlights More than 10,700 schools within the United States and its outlying areas provided some level of postsecondary education during the 1992-93 academic year. Of these, 44 percent were less - than -2 :r private for-profit institutions offering occupational programs. Over 2,700 schools offered programs at the baccalaureate level or higher (table 1). Vithin the 50 states and the District of Columbia, there were 10,600 postsecondary schools, of which 52 percent were private for - profit. 28 percent were private nonprofit, and 20 percent were publicly controlled. Of the 5,500 for-profit institutioas, 84 percent were less-than-2-year schools, whereas 66 percent of the private nonprofit schools offered programs at the bachelor's level or higher (table 2). Nearly 6 of every 10 schools offered programs of less-than-l-year's duration, while only one fifth offered bachelor's degree programs. First-professional degrees were offered by 661 institutions in 1992-93, most of which were private nonprofit institutions (table 4). California boasts the highest number of postsecondary institutions with 1,485, followed by New York (695), Texas (588), and Pennsylvania (547). These same four states have the most 4-year public institutions as well; however, California is fourth in that ranking with 33, while New York leads with 46 public 4-year schools followed by Pennsylvania (45) and Texas (41) (table 1). Since many students consider the kinds of student services that are available to them from the institutions of their choice, it is interesting to note that public schools arc more likely to offer at least one special service to their students than the private nonprofit schools. More than half of all postsecondary institutions (regardless of control or level) offer academic/career counseling services, placement services for program completers, and employment services for current students (table 5). Although average undergraduate tuition for in-state students at public 4-year institutions is significantly less than at private 4-year schools, public 4-year institutions realized the largest tuition increase over the previous year, 11 percent, compared to 4 percent at the 4-year tionp.ofits and 3 percent at the 4-year for-profit schools. In- and out-of-state graduate tuition increased comparablyup 11 percent among public schools and 2 percent at the private schools (tables 6A and 6B). iii Contents Introduction 1 General Information What is IPEDS? 1 Why and How Was IPEDS Developed?

TABS is based on data from the "Institutional Characteristics" (IC) survey, Its which is part of the Integrated tsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), conducted by the National Center for Educati n Statistics during the 1992-93 academic year. Except for table 1, the tables presented in this report reflect only those postsecondary institutions located in the 50 states and the District of Columbia that were in operation during the 1992-93 academic year. The data in this publication cover the Nation's postsecondary schools, including 4-year, 2-year, and less-than-2-year institutions, both academic in nature and those with occupational and vocational programs. The schools are included regardless of accreditation status. This report, published by the National Center for Education Statistics, is one of a series of E.D. TABS designed to make data available to the public with minimal analysis. General Information What Is IPEDS? The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) is a single, compre- hensie system of surveys designed to collect data from all institutions and educational organizations whose primary purpose is to provide postsecondary education.' The IPEDS system is built around a series of interrelated surveys that collect institution-level data in such 1.--eas as enrollments, program completions, faculty, staff, finances, and academic libraries. It is the core postsecondary education data collection program within the U.S. Department of Education, and it is sponsored by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). Why and How Was IPEDS Developed? One of the charges of the National Center for Education Statistics is to report on the condition of postsecondary education in the United States. To do this, NCES must describe the postsecondary education enterprise and follow changes in its size, participants, providers, and other characteristics. ' Within IPEDS, postsecondary education is defined as "The provision of a formal instructional program whose curriculum is designed primarily for students who are beyond the compulsory age for high school. This includes programs whose purpose is academic, vocational, and continuing professional education, and excludes avocational and adult basic education programs." 1 IPEDS was developed to eliminate some of the technical problems associated with the previous survey programs (including the Higher Education General Information Surveys (HEGIS) and the Vocational Education Data System (VEDS)) and to improve data coverage, definitions, instructions, and data quality. IPEDS is based on the old REGIS model, and is designed to gather institution-level data, submitted either directly to NCES b:, the institutions, or through a central, state coordinating office. The institution-level data collection allows for aggregation of results at various levels and permits significant controls on data quality through followup and editing. Scone of the Universe IPEDS collects data from approximately 10,800 postsecondary schools and branches. This expanded universe of institutions (up from 3,600 in HEGIS) forms the core data collection for postsecondary education in the nation. This broad universe of postsecondary education providers is divided into three categories based on the highest degree awarded or the length of the longest program. There are approximately 2,700 baccalaureate or higher degree institutions; 2,600 2-year award institutions (at least a 2-year degree program but less than a 4-year degree program); and 5,400 less-than-2-year institutions. Each of these three categories is further disaggregated by type of financial control: public, private nonprofit, and private for-profit. The resulting nine institutional categories are called "sectors" (see the tables for exact counts of institutions). Despite the diversity of institutions within and across these sectors, institutions must be identified by type as consistently as possible, since they are the primary unit for data collection. IPEDS requests separate reports from branch campuses, but not from components of an institution (such as medical schools or law schools within an institution), extension centers, or site locations. Purpose of the "Institutional Characteristics" Survey The "Institutional Characteristics" (IC) survey is a key component in the WEDS system. The survey collects basic information from the known universe of postsecondary institutions in the United States and its outlying areas, such as the institution's name and address, control or affiliation, levels of awards, types of student services, modes of instruction, tuition and required fees, room and board charges, and additional information. Data from the IC survey file, such as the control and level of the institution, permit IPEDS data to be organized by the basic descriptive categories or "sectors" mentioned above. Data may also be sorted by state or region, higher education accredited or non-collegiate status, or many other categories, for a wide variety of data analyses. 2 The maintenance of the IPEDS universe is accomplished through modifications to the IC file. In other words, new schools are added to the WEDS universe, schools that have closed are deleted, the merger of schools already on file are noted, and name and address changes are tracked through the IC file. The IC file is also used as the sampling frame for other postsecondary surveys conducted by NCES, such as the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study. Data collected through the IC survey are used to produce the biennial Directory of Postsecondary Institutions. This document lists basic information on every postsecondary institution in the U.S. and its outlying areas, including: name and address, telephone number, control and highest lev-.1 of offering, tuition and required fees, room and board charges, total fall enrollment, and nationally recognized accreditations. Data from the IC survey are also used to produce Basic Student Charges at Postsecondary Institutions, an annual publication which lists tuition and required fees and room and board charges at postsecondary institutions. Uses of the "Institutional Characteristics" Data National uses for IPEDS "Institutional Characteristics" data include the following: Many offices within the Department of Education, such as the Office of Postsecondary Education and the Office for Civil Rights, use IC data to supplement their own institutional databases for the accomplishment of their own goals and objectives. IPEDS was incorporated into the Higher Education Amendments of 1992 and, effective. October 1, 1992, it is mandatory for all institutions completing Program Participation Agreements with the Department of Education to provide this information. (See Sec. 490(a)(17) of the Higher Education Amendments.) Air Force regulations make specific reference to the IC survey data, as do regulations of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (8 CFR 214.3). The Department of Defense (including recruiting offices of all Armed Services), the Department of Health and Human Services, tile Department of Agriculture, the Department of Labor, the National Science Foundation, and members of Congress make frequent requests for data collected through the IC survey. The Veterans Administration relies on the IC file to verify that an institution is accredited at the higher education level so that beneficiaries or applicants may receive money to attend the institution in question. The National Occupational Information Coordinating Committee (NOICC) uses the IC file to establish and maintain a National Postsecondary Institution File of standardized information as part of their legislative mandate to assist States in developing and maintaining a Career Information Delivery System. 3 9 Since the IC file includes nationally recognized accreditation codes (regional, institutional, and specialized), it can be used to: determine the accreditation status of institutions applying for research grants; aid institutions in the evaluation of credentials of applicants for admission to professional schools; aid employers (including the Office of Personnel Management) in evaluating credentials of job applicants; and provide students with basic information on the institution they plan to attend. Institutional uses for IPEDS "Institutional Characteristics" data include the following: Institutional administrators, researchers, and other personnel use the biennial Directory of Postsecondary Institutions (sent free of charge to all Presidents or Chief Administrators of institutions included in the IPEDS universe) as a comprehensive source document of postsecondary institutions in their state and in the nation. NCES also publishes the annual Basic Student Charges at Postsecondary Institutions, which is a comprehensive listing of tuiti in and required fees and room and board charges for all reporting institutions in the IPEDS universe. This report is much in demand by prospective students. Institutional researchers use IPEDS "Institutional Characteristics" data to conduct peer analysis of selected data at several levels: by individual institutions, by sector, by Carnegie classification, and by national, regional, or state level aggregation. The IC file contains much information on basic institutional data such as the types of formal awards offered by the school, modes of instruction, calendar system, accreditation, selection criteria for entering students, institutional eligibility for various federal student financial assistance programs, and more. Survey Methodology Overview The "Institutional Characteristics" (IC) survey is conducted annually as part of the National Center for Education Statistics' Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS).2 The IC survey attempts to identify and characterize the universe of institutions offering postsecondary education in the United States and its outlying areas. The final 2Other IPEDS surveys include Fall Enrollment, Fall Enrollment in Occupationally Specific Programs, Completions, Finance, Salaries, Fall Staff, Academic Libraries, and the Consolidated Survey. 4 1992-93 WEDS universe includes 10,760 postsecondary institutions and 126 administrative units, for a total of 10,886 postsecondary entities (see the response table that follows for more information). The IC survey is the control file for the entire WEDS system. As such, it forms the sampling frame for all other IPEDS surveys; it determines the specific IPEDS survey forms and form types to be mailed to each institution; and it collects basic institutional data which are necessary to sort and analyze not only the IC database, but also all other WEDS survey databases. The IC survey has three major versions: IC1, IC2, and IC3. The form that a specific institution receives is determined by its assigned sector at the time the form is mailed. Sector is determined by an institution's control (public, private nonprofit, or private for-profit) and its highest level of offering (4-year or higher, at least 2- but less than 4-year, or less -than -2- year certificate, diploma, degree, or other formal award). The IC1 form is mailed to all 4- year and higher institutions; the IC2 to all 2-year schools and the public less-than-2-year institutions; and the IC3 is sent to the private less-than-2-year institutions. One other version, the IC -ADD is sent to all new institutions, regardless of control or level. The "Institutional Characteristics" survey data are collected by academic year. The 1992-93 IC data are for the 1992-93 academic year for all survey respondents, or for a prior year if the institution did not respond to the current yiar's survey form. Institutional Universe and Response Rates The 1992-93 IC survey was mailed in July 1992 to the final 1991-92 WEDS universe of 10,144 postsecondary institutions in the United States and its outlying areas, and to 120 administrative units. Approximately 2,398 institutions not in the WEDS universe were identified as possible additions to the universe during a postsecondary area search conducted by the Bureau of the Census; these potential schools also received the IC survey. When any of these institutions responded to the survey and indicated that their primary mission was the provision of postsecondary education as defined in the survey, they were added to the WEDS universe. Institutions that did not meet the WEDS definition were flagged and thus were not added; the remainder, the nonrespondc:nts, will be surveyed again in 1993-94. Institutions received one of three major versions of the IC survey (IC1, IC2, or IC3), depending on their control and program offerings. The following response table provides the number of institutions by sector that received the 1992-93 IC survey, along with the final universe counts and response rates. 5 1 Frequencies and response rates for the 1992-93 Institutional Characteristics survey Level and control of institution Sector Survey form type Number of institutions Response -ate Final IC file 1991-92 Sector changes (net) Deletes Adds Final IC file 1992-93 Respondents Total entities 10,264 536 1158 10,886 10,072 Administrative units 0 IC1 120 +4 3 5 126 91 72.2 Total institutions -- -- 10,144 -4 533 1153 10,760 9,981 92.8 4-year public 1 IC1 625 +2 2 1 626 612 97.8 4-year nonprofit 2 IC1 1,880 +30 23 89 1,976 1,733 87.7 4-year for-profit 3 IC1 121 +10 3 21 149 133 89.3 2-year public 4 IC2 1,255 +9 1C lb 1,272 1,221 96.0 2-year nonprofit 5 IC2 630 -13 22 32 627 576 91.9 2-year for-profit 6 IC2 811 -46 41 34 758 588 90.8 < 2-year public 7 IC2 278 -21 14 34 277 263 94.9 < 2-year nonprofit 8 /C3 350 -17 35 74 372 353 < 2-year for-profit 9 IC3 4,194 +42 383 850 4,703 4,402 9b.6 Table notes: 1. By definition, 4-year institutions offer a bachelor's degree or postbaccalaureate award of some kind; 2-year institutions offer at least one program of at least 2 years' duration; and less-than-2-year (< 2-year) schools offer only programs of less than 2 years' duration. 2. The column entitled "Sector changes (net) reflects the net change in the number of institutions moving into and out of a given sector between 1991-92 and 1992-93. The number is based on institutions that were in the universe in both survey years; therefore, deletes and adds are excluded. A school's sector may change due to a change in its highest level of offering, or the school may have been improperly classified by sector on the prior year's survey file. 3. The "Adds" column includes only institutions new to the 1992-93 IPEDS universe; thus, not on the 1991-92 IC file. The 'Deletes' column shows the number of institutions that were on the 1991-92 file but were eliminated before closeout of the 1992-93 file because they were declared out-of-scope for some reason. For example, the school may have closed. 4. Response rates are based on institutions that are on the final 1992-93 file that responded to the survey. For example, the final 1992-93 file has a total of 10,760 institutions. Of these, a total of 9,981 responded to the IC survey. Therefore, the response rate for all institutions combined is 9,981 divided by 10,760, or 92.8 percent. An institution was counted as a respondent if it responded to either: (a) the paper form or (b) the Pos'zsecondary Education Telephone System (PETS), which collected only critical data items during a telephone interview with an institutional representative. PETS was used for nonrespondents to the paper form. 6 Survey Conduct and Editing To ease respondent burden, tt, Tr: survey forms are preprinted with prior year survey responses for those items that generally are not expected to change from year to year, such as the institution's name, address, calendar system, and modes of instruction. The survey respondent is instructed to update the preprinted data if necessary, and to provide current information for items such as tuition and required fees, and room and board charges (the prior year's response are also preprinted in the student charges section to allow comparisons). The IC survey carries a due date of September 1. Extensive followup for survey nonresponse was conducted from mid-September 1992 through March 1993. Initially, reminder letters were mailed, encouraging nonresponding institutions to complete and return their forms; and subsequently, the Postsecondary Education Telephone System (PETS) was used to collect critical data by telephone from an institutional representative. (Note that selected data for items not expected to change from year to year, such as the institution's calendar system and modes of instruction, are retained in the database for survey nonrespondents.) All data, whether received on paper forms or through the PETS system, were subjected to the same editing process. Survey responses were edited for internal and inter-year consistency. For example, if an institution indicates that graduate-level programs are offered, then the form must also provide graduate tuition. If the room and board charges reported by the institution are out of line with last year's reported charges, the data are verified with the institution or coordinator. Only actual (reported) data are provided on the database for most parts of the survey (A - E), while Part F may contain imputed data for the fall enrollment and instructional activity items. Also, in Part D, tuition charges that were reported for a quarter, semester, or trimester were converted to academic year charges (i.e., charges per quarter were multiplied by three; charges for semesters or trimesters were doubled) to conform to the instructions provided to respondents. Editors did not convert hourly or program charges. Mean charges in tables 6A and 6B are based on an academic year. During the course of survey processing for the 1992-93 year, some institutions were de;lared out-of-scope. This happens either because (1) they were duplicates of other institutions on the file; (2) because they had closed or had merged with another institution, and thus were no longer a legitimate institution or branch; (3) because they no longer offered postsecondary programs; or (4) because they did not to conform to the IPEDS definition of an institution or branch. These out-of-scope institutions were deleted from the IPEDS universe of postsecondary institutions. 7 Acknowledgments The author would like to express her appreciation to the officials of the postsecondary institutions who responded to our request for data and to the coordinating officials of the state education agencies who assisted in the data collection and the resolution of inconsistencies.
