Case: You will develop an Excel spreadsheet with 5-year trend data on a variety of key performance indicators and budget items showing the financial status of the selected institution. The US Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics coordinates the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) surveys every year. The IPEDS surveys are federal requirements of all institutions that receive Title IV aid. IPEDS data are especially helpful for enrollment and budget analysts to compare their own institutions with comparative peer institutions. Use link: Retrieving IPEDS Data for Selected Institutions in the
Learn section for a helpful video tutorial with the step-by-step instructions. In this assignment, you will download data that are publicly available from IPEDS (if you cannot locate the information from your own institution's website).
