SECTOR - Sector of institution
One of nine institutional categories resulting from dividing the universe according to control and level. Control categories are public, private not-for-profit, and private for-profit. Level categories are 4-year and higher (4 year), 2-but-less-than 4-year (2 year), and less than 2-year. For example: public, 4-year institutions. Control - A classification of whether an institution is operated by publicly elected or appointed officials (public control) or by privately elected or appointed officials and derives its major source of funds from private sources (private control). Level - A classification of whether an institution’s programs are 4-year or higher (4 year), 2-but-less-than 4-year (2 year), or less than 2-year.

C18BASIC - Carnegie Classification 2018: Basic
The Basic Classification is an update of the traditional classification framework developed by the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education in 1970 to support its research program. The Basic Classification was originally published for public use in 1973, and subsequently updated in 1976, 1987, 1994, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2018. In the 2018 update, the Doctoral Universities have been reshaped to better accommodate “Doctor's degree – professional practice” within our methodology. Please see the Basic Classification Methodology for details regarding how this classification is calculated. Doctoral universities - Includes institutions that awarded at least 20 research/scholarship doctoral degrees during the update year and also institutions with below 20 research/scholarship doctoral degrees that awarded at least 30 professional practice doctoral degrees in at least 2 programs. Excludes Special Focus Institutions and Tribal Colleges. The first two categories include only institutions that awarded at least 20 research/scholarship doctoral degrees and had at least $5 million in total research expenditures (as reported through the National Science Foundation (NSF) Higher Education Research & Development Survey (HERD)). R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity R2: Doctoral Universities – High research activity D/PU: Doctoral/Professional Universities Master's Colleges and Universities - Generally includes institutions that awarded at least 50 master's degrees and fewer than 20 doctoral degrees during the update year (with occasional exceptions – see Methodology). Excludes Special Focus Institutions and Tribal Colleges. Baccalaureate Colleges - Includes institutions where baccalaureate or higher degrees represent at least 50 percent of all degrees but where fewer than 50 master's degrees or 20 doctoral degrees were awarded during the update year. (Some institutions above the master's degree threshold are also included; see Methodology.) Excludes Special Focus Institutions and Tribal Colleges. Baccalaureate/Associate's Colleges - Includes four-year colleges (by virtue of having at least one baccalaureate degree program) that conferred more than 50 percent of degrees at the associate's level. Excludes Special Focus Institutions and Tribal Colleges. Associate's Colleges - Institutions at which the highest level degree awarded is an associate's degree. The institutions are sorted into nine categories based on the intersection of two factors: disciplinary focus (transfer, career & technical or mixed) and dominant student type (traditional, nontraditional or mixed). Excludes Special Focus Institutions and Tribal Colleges. Special Focus Institutions- Institutions where a high concentration of degrees is in a single field or set of related fields. Excludes Tribal Colleges. Tribal Colleges - Colleges and universities that are members of the American Indian Higher Education Consortium, as identified in IPEDS Institutional Characteristics. Classifications are time-specific snapshots of institutional attributes and behavior based on 2016-17 data. The methodology can be found at http://carnegieclassifications.iu.edu/definitions.php.

OBEREG - Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) regions
Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) Regions BEA Regions are a set of Geographic Areas that are aggregations of the states. The regional classifications, which were developed in the mid-1950s, are based on the homogeneity of the states in terms of economic characteristics, such as the industrial composition of the labor force, and in terms of demographic, social, and cultural characteristics. BEA groups all 50 states and the District of Columbia into eight distinct regions for purposes of data collecting and analyses.

LOCALE - Degree of urbanization (Urban-centric locale)
Locale codes identify the geographic status of a school on an urban continuum ranging from “large city” to “rural.” They are based on a school’s physical address. The urban-centric locale codes introduced in this file are assigned through a methodology developed by the U.S. Census Bureau’s Population Division in 2005. The urban-centric locale codes apply current geographic concepts to the original NCES locale codes used on IPEDS files through 2004. 11 = City: Large: Territory inside an urbanized area and inside a principal city with population of 250,000 or more. 12 = City: Midsize: Territory inside an urbanized area and inside a principal city with population less than 250,000 and greater than or equal to 100,000. 13 = City: Small: Territory inside an urbanized area and inside a principal city with population less than 100,000. 21 = Suburb: Large: Territory outside a principal city and inside an urbanized area with population of 250,000 or more. 22 = Suburb: Midsize: Territory outside a principal city and inside an urbanized area with population less than 250,000 and greater than or equal to 100,000. 23 = Suburb: Small: Territory outside a principal city and inside an urbanized area with population less than 100,000. 31 = Town: Fringe: Territory inside an urban cluster that is less than or equal to 10 miles from an urbanized area. 32 = Town: Distant: Territory inside an urban cluster that is more than 10 miles and less than or equal to 35 miles from an urbanized area. 33 = Town: Remote: Territory inside an urban cluster that is more than 35 miles of an urbanized area. 41 - Rural: Fringe: Census-defined rural territory that is less than or equal to 5 miles from an urbanized area, as well as rural territory that is less than or equal to 2.5 miles from an urban cluster. 42 = Rural: Distant: Census-defined rural territory that is more than 5 miles but less than or equal to 25 miles from an urbanized area, as well as rural territory that is more than 2.5 miles but less than or equal to 10 miles from an urban cluster. 43 = Rural: Remote: Census-defined rural territory that is more than 25 miles from an urbanized area and is also more than 10 miles from an urban cluster. American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and the Virgin Islands, were not assigned a locale code because the geographic and governmental structures of these entities do not fit the definitional scheme used to derive the code.

GRRTTOT - Graduation rate, total cohort
Graduation rate of first-time, full-time degree or certificate-seeking students - 2012 cohort (4-year institutions) and 2015 cohort (less-than-4-year institutions). The graduation rate is the rate required for disclosure and/or reporting purposes under Student Right-to-Know. This rate is calculated as the total number of completers within 150% of normal time divided by the revised cohort minus any allowable exclusions. For 4-year institutions the adjusted cohort is defined by the variable GRTOTLT when GRTYPE=2 and the total completers within 150% of normal time is GRTOTLT when GRTYPE=3. GRTYPE=2 and 3 include both the bachelor's or equivalent degree/certificate-seeking subcohort and the other degree/certificate-seeking subcohort (Table gr2018). For 2-year institutions the adjusted cohort is defined by the variable GRTOTLT when GRTYPE=29 and the total completers within 150% of normal time is GRTOTLT when GRTYPE=30 (Table gr2018). For less-than-2-year institutions the adjusted cohort defined by the variable LINE_50 and the total completers within 150% of normal time is LINE_11 (Table gr2018_L2) Normal time to completion - The amount of time necessary for a student to complete all requirements for a degree or certificate according to the institution's catalog. This is typically 4 years (8 semesters or trimesters, or 12 quarters, excluding summer terms) for a bachelor's degree in a standard term-based institution Allowable exclusions - Those students who may be removed (deleted) from the GRS cohort according to the Student Right-to-Know legislation. These include students who died or were totally and permanently disabled; those who left school to serve in the armed forces; those who left to serve with a foreign aid service of the federal government, such as the Peace Corps; and those who left to serve on official church mission.

F1ENDMFT - Endowment assets (year end) per FTE enrollment (GASB)
Endowment assets (year end) per FTE enrollment for public institutions using GASB 34/35 standards is derived as follows: Endowment assets (year end) (F1H02) divided by 12-month FTE enrollment (FTE12MN) Endowment assets are gross investments of endowment funds, term endowment funds, and funds functioning as endowment for the institution and any of its foundations and other affiliated organizations. Endowment funds are funds whose principal is nonexpendable (true endowment) and that are intended to be invested to provide earnings for institutional use. Term endowment funds are funds which the donor has stipulated that the principal may be expended after a stated period or on the occurrence of a certain event. Funds functioning as endowment (quasi-endowment funds) are established by the governing board to function like an endowment fund but which may be totally expended at any time at the discretion of the governing board. These funds represent nonmandatory transfers from the current fund rather than a direct addition to the endowment fund, as occurs for the true endowment categories. The full-time-equivalent (FTE) enrollment used is the sum of the institutions’ FTE undergraduate enrollment and FTE graduate enrollment (as calculated from or reported on the 12-month Enrollment component) plus the estimated FTE of first-professional students. Undergraduate and graduate FTE are estimated using 12-month instructional activity (credit and/or contact hours).

FTE12MN - 12-month full-time equivalent enrollment: 2017-18
12-month full-time equivalent enrollment: Academic year 2017-18. The full-time-equivalent (FTE) enrollment used in this report is the sum of the institutions’ FTE undergraduate enrollment and FTE graduate enrollment (as calculated from or reported on the 12-month Enrollment component) plus the reported FTE of doctoral professional practice students. Undergraduate and graduate FTE are estimated using 12-month instructional activity (credit and/or contact hours). Students. The calculation of FTE undergraduate and graduates is as follows: Quarter calendar system Enrollment level (One FTE over 12-month period) Undergraduate 45 credit hours, 900 contact hours Graduate 36 credit hours Semester/trimester/4-1-4 plan/other calendar system Enrollment level (one FTE over 12-month period) Undergraduate 30 credit hours 900 contact hours Graduate 24 credit hours For institutions with continuous enrollment programs, FTE is determined by dividing the number of contact hours attempted by 900.
