This site provides access to a series of analysis reports that focus on postsecondary education policy issues. These analyses take advantage of multiple education data sources, especially from recently completed surveys.

For most published reports you can view the executive summary—including graphs, tables, definition of terms used, and explanation of the research methodology used—online. All of the reports are available for download in PDF format.

Almost all of the reports tables were created using the DAS. You can look at the table parameter files (TPF) and correlation parameter files (CPF) used to generate the tables and download, edit, and run them for customized tables.

Published reports are organized by release year, within these groups:

• Access, Persistence, and Attainment of a Degree
• Financing Postsecondary Education
• Student Profiles/Descriptive Summaries
• Life After College
• Postsecondary Faculty
• K-12 Teachers
• Other Topics
