Scope of Study

Summary:This data collection contains information on finances for a sample of postsecondary institutions in the United States. The finance data, collected annually, are used for reporting and projecting capital outlays of two-year and four-year colleges and universities, trends in replacements of plant assets, and performance of endowment funds. The first part of the study, Institutional Characteristics, includes variables on control and level of institution, religious affiliation, highest level of offering, and state FIPS codes and abbreviations. Part A of the study, Current Funds Revenues by Source, provides each institution's current fund revenues by source (e.g., tuition and fees, government, gifts). Part B, Current Funds Expenditures by Function, covers expenditures for instruction, research, and plant maintenance. Part E, Scholarships and Fellowship Expenditures, covers scholarships and fellowships.

Data Collection Notes:(1) Each record on the data file represents one observation of a responding or imputed higher education institution for parts A, B, and E of the questionnaire. The other parts of the questionnaire (parts C, D, F, G, H, I, J, and K) are not included on the imputed file. (2) The codebook and data collection instruments are provided as a Portable Document Format (PDF) file. The PDF file format was developed by Adobe Systems Incorporated and can be accessed using PDF reader software, such as the Adobe Acrobat Reader. Information on how to obtain a copy of the Acrobat Reader is provided through the ICPSR Website on the Internet.
 

Methodology

Sample:The Finance surveys (F1 and F2) were mailed to 3,626 postsecondary schools, representing the universe of all four-year, two-year public and private nonprofit, less-than-two-year public institutions, and a sample of two-year for-profit and less-than-two-year private institutions. The survey was also mailed to 3,451 other postsecondary education institutions (those not accredited by an agency recognized by the Secretary of Education). However, response rates did not meet NCES standards, and so these data are not included on this file.
 
Data Source:self-enumerated questionnaires
 

Access and Availability

Note:A list of the data formats available for this study can be found in the summary of holdings. Detailed file-level information (such as record length, case count, and variable count) is listed in the file manifest.
