originator mapDigital The National Center for Education Statistics' (NCES) Education Demographic and Geographic Estimate (EDGE) program develops annually updated point locations (latitude and longitude) for postsecondary institutions included in the NCES Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). The IPEDS program annually collects information about enrollments, program completions, graduation rates, faculty and staff, finances, institutional prices, and student financial aid from every college, university, and technical and vocational institution that participates in federal student financial aid programs under the Higher Education Act of 1965 (as amended). IPEDS school point locations are derived from reported information about the physical location of schools. The NCES EDGE program collaborates with the U.S. Census Bureau's Education Demographic, Geographic, and Economic Statistics (EDGE) Branch to develop point locations for schools reported in the annual IPEDS file. The point locations in this data layer were developed from the 2020-2021 IPEDS collection. For more information about NCES school point data, see: https://nces.ed.gov/programs/edge/Geographic/SchoolLocations.All information contained in this file is in the public domain. Data users are advised to review NCES program documentation and feature class metadata to understand the limitations and appropriate use of these data. Point locations of postsecondary schools from the 2020-2021 Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) created by the National Center for Education Statistics' (NCES) Education Demographic and Geographic Estimates (EDGE) program.

Standard geographic codes, such as FIPS codes for states, counties, state legislative districts, and congressional districts are used when encoding spatial entities. EDGE performed spatial data tests for logical consistency of the codes during the creation of the shapefiles. Most of the codes for geographic entities except states, counties, Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs), Combined Statistical Areas (CSAs), New England City and Town Areas (NECTAs), state legislative districts, and congressional districts were provided to the Census Bureau by the USGS, the agency responsible for maintaining the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). Feature attribute information has been examined but has not been fully tested for consistency. Data completeness of the IPEDS school shapefile reflects the contents of the IPEDS universe at the time the shapefile was created. Run SAS scripts to perform spatial data tests for logical consistency of the codes during the creation of the shapefiles. 2021-04-08T00:00:00 Douglas Geverdt National Center for Education Statistics Admimistrative Data Division 202-245-8230
