Welcome to the IPEDS Analytics: Delta Cost Project Database. Here you will find a longitudinal database derived from IPEDS finance,
enrollment, staffing, completions and student aid data for academic years 1986-87 through 2009-10. These data have been translated into
analytical formats to allow for longitudinal analyses of trends in postsecondary education with a focus on revenues and expenditures.
You can download the database files using the links below. Each zipped file includes the updated 1987-1999 and 2000-2010 database files along with the data dictionary, data mapping file, and program code to create value labels.
