Description

This dataset shows college completions data as reported to the NCES IPEDS program. Data is available from 2003 through the latest year available in IPEDS or College Navigator, whichever is more recent, and is reported by institution, program, and award level. NOTE: This dataset delivers completions numbers through 'BrickAndMortar' and 'Distance' dimensions. These categories are binary. If a program is offered in a distance capacity at a particular institution, all completions for that program will be listed in the 'Distance' category. Despite this, in reality, the school may have students in the program that completed their studies on-campus. The presence of completions in the 'Distance' dimension only indicates that the program is offered in a distance capacity. It may or may not also be offered on-campus, and 'Distance' may or may not equate to 'online.'

Use Cases

Questions answered by this dataset:

• How many of the University of Maryland's programs are offered in a distance capacity?
• Is the number of distance-offered programs at our institution increasing? How quickly?

Metrics* Distance: The number of degrees and certificates conferred that were offered in a distance capacity. If this number is greater than 0, 'BrickAndMortar' will be 0.

• BrickAndMortar: The number of degrees and certificates conferred that were only offered on-campus. If this number is greater than 0, 'Distance' will be 0.
• Completions: The number of degrees and certificates conferred. This figure will match the non-zero 'Distance' or 'BrickAndMortar' figure.
• Completers (deprecated): The number of degrees and certificates conferred. This figure will match the non-zero 'Distance' or 'BrickAndMortar' figure.
• CompletionlessDistancePrograms: The number of programs with no completions that were offered in a distance capacity.
• CompletionlessBrickAndMortarPrograms: The number of programs with no completions that were only offered on-campus.
• CompletionlessPrograms: The number of programs with no completions.
