Postsecondary School Locations - Current
<p style='margin-bottom:0in;'>The National Center for Education Statistics’ (NCES)
Education Demographic and Geographic Estimates (EDGE) program develops annually
updated point locations (latitude and longitude) for postsecondary institutions
included in the NCES Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS).
The IPEDS program annually collects information about enrollments, program
completions, graduation rates, faculty and staff, finances, institutional
prices, and student financial aid from colleges, universities, and technical
and vocational institutions that participate in federal student financial aid
programs under the Higher Education Act of 1965 (as amended). The NCES EDGE
program uses address information reported in the annually updated IPEDS
directory file to develop point locations for all institutions reported in
IPEDS. The point locations in this data layer represent the most current IPEDS
collection available. For more information about NCES school point data,
