This Week In IPEDS (TWII)

1. Reminder: CIP 2020 Required for Fall IPEDS Completions Reporting

As a reminder, IPEDS-reporting institutions will be expected to use the 2020 Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) (https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/cipcode/) beginning with the Fall 2020 Completions Survey, when institutions report on the degrees and certificates awarded by 6-digit CIP Code between July 1, 2019-June 30, 2020. The CIP website contains a CIP Wizard for assistance with identifying new or changed CIP codes, a detailed Help document, and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).

2. CIP-SOC Crosswalk Release

NCES is pleased to announce the release of the 2020 edition of the CIP-SOC Crosswalk. The 2020 edition of the CIP-SOC Crosswalk is a joint effort between the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). It matches codes from the 2020 Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) to codes from the 2018 Standard Occupational Classifications (SOC) to answer the following questions: What job can I get with a certificate or degree in {insert CIP Code}? or What field of study do I need to study in order to be an {insert SOC Code}? The 2020 edition of the CIP-SOC Crosswalk can be downloaded here: https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/cipcode/resources.aspx?y=56. Please send any questions about the CIP-SOC Crosswalk to CIP2020@ed.gov.
