Degree completion is another variable of special interest to many individuals on
and off the KSU campus. Through the IPEDS system, the Federal government collects
information on degrees awarded annually from all institutions of higher education
and has promoted a national interest in the four-year, five-year, and six-year rates
of degree completion for first-time, full-time freshmen who matriculate in the fall
at each four-year institution of higher education. The Georgia Board of Regents
identified the three-year annual averages of degree completions by program as an
important variable in comprehensive program review. Consequently, we produce a variety
of reports annually regarding degree productivity.
Integrated Postsecondary Education (IPEDS)
The
IPEDS Peer Analysis System is designed to enable a user to compare a postsecondary institution of the user’s
choice to a group of peer institutions which are also selected by the user. It provides
a variety of analytical features for peer analysis. This includes the ability to
create new calculated variables, to sort and rank schools based on the data items
selected, and to view standard report templates.
