This will be an interactive walkthrough of the IPEDS Access tables. I have planned a few exercises and discussions that highlight a few potential pitfalls in the application of this data. We will also address a few ways in which Tech uses this data in our office (identifying benchmark institutions, Program Elevations/Letters of Notifications). It would help to have some familiarity with the content of the IPEDS Surveys and some SQL experience, but those with intermediate/advanced skills should also benefit from this workshop.
