Dataset: Provides finance line item data for postsecondary institutions in the United States. Specific data elements include such items as institutional revenues by source (eg, tuition and fees, government, private gifts); institutional expenditures by function (eg, instruction, research, plant maintenance and operation); physical plant assets and indebtedness; and endowment investments.
Data are from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) conducted by the NCES. IPEDS involves annual institution-level data collections. All postsecondary institutions that participate in federal programs providing financial assistance to students are required to report data using a web-based data collection system. This annual component of IPEDS collects data that describe the financial condition of postsecondary education in the nation. These data are used to monitor changes in postsecondary education finance and to promote research involving institutional financial resources and expenditures. The year noted represents the start of the school year; for example, 2006 represents data covering the 2006-2007 school year.
