Annual Reporting

Stay informed with our detailed annual reporting, which includes comprehensive data on various aspects of our university. This page features reports from two major data collection initiatives: the Common Data Set (CDS) and the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS).

Common Data Set (CDS)

The Common Data Set (CDS) initiative is a collaborative effort among data providers in the higher education community and publishers as represented by the College Board, Peterson’s, and U.S. News & World Report. The combined goal of this collaboration is to improve the quality and accuracy of information provided to all involved in a student’s transition into higher education, as well as to reduce the reporting burden on data providers.
