National Center for Education Statistics. Fall Enrollment - Postsecondary Education: Total Enrollment | Gender: All Gender | Race: Hispanic, 1991 - 2013. Data-Planet™ Statistical Datasets by Conquest Systems, Inc. Dataset-ID: 017-005-001
Dataset: Presents a count of full- and part-time students of all levels enrolled in postsecondary institutions in the 50 United States, and Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands.
Data are from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), a web-based data collection system, conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics. All postsecondary institutions that participate in or are applicants for participation in any federal programs providing financial assistance to students are required to report data using the IPEDS. More than 7,500 institutions complete IPEDS surveys each year. These include research universities, state colleges and universities, private religious and liberal arts colleges, for-profit institutions, community and technical colleges, non-degree-granting institutions (eg, beauty colleges), and others. IPEDS collects data on postsecondary education in the United States in seven areas: institutional characteristics, institutional prices, enrollment, student financial aid, degrees and certificates conferred, student persistence and success, and institutional human and fiscal resources.
The total enrollment data presented here are based on fall enrollment, an annual component of IPEDS that collects data on the number of students enrolled in the fall at postsecondary institutions. Data are reported by race/ethnicity; gender; enrollment status (part-time or full-time); and or level of study (undergraduate or graduate); also included are counts of nonresident aliens (ie, a person who is not a citizen or national of the United States and who is in this country on a visa or temporary basis and does not have the right to remain indefinitely) enrolled in postsecondary institutions. Students reported include those enrolled in courses creditable toward a degree or other formal award; students enrolled in courses that are part of a vocational or occupational program, including those enrolled in off-campus centers; and high school students taking regular college courses for credit. Fall enrollment is collected in the spring following the fall term covered by the data collection. Other modules are conducted at other times of year.
