Event Description
Many institutions utilize IPEDS survey data for various projects and internal reports. Unfortunately, using the IPEDS data tool to accomplish this can often seem unintuitive and limited, especially when working with large datasets. To remedy this, experienced data users can utilize the survey data in Microsoft Access format, as provided by NCES. Attendees will leave this workshop with knowledge of the IPEDS Access Databases, including general information about their structure, helpful tips for querying data, and ideas for utilizing the databases for easier reporting.
