The Common Data Set (CDS) initiative is a collaborative effort among data providers in the higher education community and publishers as represented by the College Board, Peterson’s, and U.S. News & World Report. The combined goal of this collaboration is to improve the quality and accuracy of information provided to all involved in a student’s transition into higher education, as well as to reduce the reporting burden on data providers. The CDS is a set of standards and definitions of data items rather than a survey instrument or set of data represented in a database. Each of the higher education surveys conducted by the participating publishers incorporates items from the CDS as well as unique items proprietary to each publisher. Consequently, the publishers’ surveys differ in that they utilize varying numbers of items from the CDS.

Common Data Set I: Instructional Faculty and Class Size
I1. Number of Instructional Faculty
The following definition of full-time instructional faculty is used by the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) in its annual Faculty Compensation Survey (the part time definitions are not used by AAUP). Instructional Faculty is defined as those members of the instructional-research staff whose major regular assignment is instruction, including those with released time for research. The chart below lists inclusions and exclusions:
Category | Full-time | Part-time |
---|---|---|
(a) instructional faculty in preclinical and clinical medicine, faculty who are not paid (e.g., those who donate their services or are in the military), or research-only faculty, post-doctoral fellows, or pre-doctoral fellows | Exclude | Include only if they teach one or more non-clinical credit courses |
(b) administrative officers with titles such as dean of students, librarian, registrar, coach, and the like, even though they may devote part of their time to classroom instruction and may have faculty status | Exclude | Include if they teach one or more non-clinical credit courses |
(c) other administrators/staff who teach one or more non-clinical credit courses even though they do not have faculty status | Exclude | Include |
(d) undergraduate or graduate students who assist in the instruction of courses, but have titles such as teaching assistant, teaching fellow, and the like | Exclude | Exclude |
(e) faculty on sabbatical or leave with pay | Include | Exclude |
(f) faculty on leave without pay | Exclude | Exclude |
(g) replacement faculty for faculty on sabbatical leave or leave with pay | Exclude | Include |
Full-time instructional faculty: Faculty employed on a full-time basis for instruction (including those with released time for research)
Part-time instructional faculty: Adjuncts and other instructors being paid solely for part-time classroom instruction. Also includes full-time faculty teaching less than two semesters, three quarters, two trimesters, or two four-month sessions. Employees who are not considered full-time instructional faculty but who teach one or more non-clinical credit courses may be counted as part-time faculty.
Minority faculty: Includes faculty who designate themselves as black, non-Hispanic; American Indian or Alaskan native; Asian or Pacific Islander; or Hispanic.
Doctorate: Includes such degrees as Doctor of Philosophy, Doctor of Education, Doctor of Juridical Science, and Doctor of Public Health in any field such as arts, sciences, education, engineering, business, and public administration.

Terminal degree: The highest degree in a field: example, M. Arch (architecture) and MFA (master of fine arts).

j) Total number in stand-alone graduate/ professional programs in which faculty teach virtually only graduate-level students | – | – | 0 |
I2. Student to Faculty Ratio
Fall 2017 ratio of full-time equivalent students (full-time plus 1/3 part-time) to full-time equivalent instructional faculty (full-time plus 1/3 part-time).Excluded are both faculty and students in stand-alone graduate or professional programs such as medicine, law, veterinary, dentistry, social work, business, pr public health in which faculty teach virtually only graduate level students. Undergraduate and graduate student teaching assistants are not counted as faculty.
Fall 2016 Student to Faculty Ratio: 17 to 1 (based on 16,753 students and 990 faculty)
I3. Undergraduate Class Size
Class Sections: A class section is an organized course offered for credit, identified by discipline and number, meeting at a stated time or times in a classroom or similar setting, and not a subsection such as a laboratory or discussion session. Undergraduate class sections are defined as any sections in which at least one degree-seeking undergraduate student is enrolled for credit. Exclude distance learning classes and noncredit classes and individual instruction such as dissertation or thesis research, music instruction, or one-to-one readings. Exclude students in independent study, co-operative programs, internships, foreign language taped tutor sessions, practicums, and all students in one-on-one classes. Each class section should be counted only once and should not be duplicated because of course catalog cross-listings.
Class Subsections: A class subsection includes any subsection of a course, such as laboratory, recitation, and discussion subsections that are supplementary in nature and are scheduled to meet separately from the lecture portion of the course. Undergraduate subsections are defined as any subsections of courses in which degree-seeking undergraduate students enrolled for credit. As above, exclude noncredit classes and individual instruction such as dissertation or thesis research, music instruction, or one-to-one readings. Each class subsection should be counted only once and should not be duplicated because of cross-listings.
For each of the following class-size intervals, the number of class sections and class subsections offered in Fall 2015. For example, a lecture class with 800 students who met at another time in 40 separate labs with 20 students should be counted once in the “100+” column in the class section column and 40 times under the “20-29” column of the class subsections table.

Common Data Set J: Degrees Confirmed
J1. Degrees conferred between July 1, 2016 and June 30, 2017
For each of the following discipline areas, numbers represent the percentage of diplomas/certificates, associate, and bachelor’s degrees awarded. Majors, not headcount (e.g., students with one degree but a double major will be represented twice) are used. Percentages are calculated from institution’s IPEDS Completions by using the sum of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd majors for each CIP code as the numerator and the sum of the Grand Total by 1st, 2nd, and 3rd majors as the denominator.
