About this dataset

Welcome to the U.S. News & World Report's 2017 National Universities Rankings, a comprehensive dataset of over 1,800 schools across the United States providing quality data on admissions criteria, cost of tuition and fees, enrollment numbers, and overall rankings! Here you'll find up-to-date information on institutes of higher learning from Princeton University at the top spot in Best National Universities to Williams College at No. 1 on the Best National Liberal Arts Colleges list.

This collection of data is all that's needed for potential students - parents, counselors and more - to evaluate their choices in selecting a college or university that perfectly meets their needs. For instance: what is the total tuition & fees cost? What are student enrollment numbers? How have students rated this school? Which universities have been recognized as top institutions in academics by U.S. News & World Report? What admissions criteria do these schools evaluate when considering an applicant's profile? The answers lie within this dataset!

Explore each category separately as well as with other considerations through visuals like our scatter plot to get an inside look into collegiate education from enrollment patterns charted against yearly expenses including room & board charges without forgetting several crucial factors such as six-year graduation rates and freshman retention rates measured among nations' universities included here -allowing for comparison and assessment beforehand for a well-rounded experience such that you can find your own path ahead!

How to use the dataset

This dataset contains information on the quality, tuition, and enrollment data of 1,800 U.S.-based universities ranked by U.S. News & World Report from 2017. It includes rankings from the National University and Liberal Arts College lists in addition to relevant data points like tuition fees and undergraduate enrollments for each school.

Users can take advantage of this dataset to build models that predict ranking or predicting cost-benefit results for students by using cost-related (tuition) metrics along with quality metrics (rankings). Alternatively users can use it to analyze trends between investments in higher education versus outcomes (ranking), or explore the relationship between enrollments for schools of varying rank tiers, etc...

For more information on how rankings are calculated please refer to this methodology explainer on U.S news website

Here is an overview of all columns included in this dataset:

Columns:Name - institution name,Location - City and state where located,Rank - Ranking according to U.S News & World Report ,Description - Snippet of text overview from U.S News ,Tuition and fees – Combined tuition and fees for out–of–state students ,In–state – Tuition and fees for in–state students ,Undergraduate Enrollment – Number of enrolled undergraduate students .

Using this column detail as a guide we can answer questions like ‘which colleges give highest ROI ?’ or ‘Which college has highest number undergraduates?’ . For statistical analysis such as correlation we may use a visual representation such as a scatter plots or bar graphs accordingly making it easier analyses trends found within our dataset ans well as exploring any relationships between different factors such us tuitions vs ranks

Research Ideas

• Developing a searchable database to help high school students identify colleges that match their criteria in terms of tuition, graduation rate, location, and rank.
• Identifying correlations between enrollment numbers and university rank in order to better understand how the number of enrolled students effects the overall ranking of a university.
• Comparing universities with similar rankings in order to highlight differences between programs’ tuition and fees as well as retention rates

This dataset presents student enrollment figures at Hamad Bin Khalifa University, categorized by college, nationality (Qatari, Non-Qatari), and gender. It includes male, female, and total enrollment counts per group, offering insights into demographic and academic trends across the university’s colleges.

Data provides School Year 2013-2014 through most currently available data including undergraduate student enrollment in engineering, biological and biomedical science, mathematics and physical sciences at Pennsylvania’s publicly supported institutions. Data is collected in the Spring and reported out in the Fall. A couple of notes on the data: 1. IPEDS only reports certain majors. When the data was pulled in 2014 it included two CIP categories that are no longer reported, 15-Engineering Technologies and 41-Science Technology/Technicians. 2. IPEDS no longer reports community college enrollments for this measure. It is possible that this is related to the dropping of CIP code categories. The CIP codes that were dropped are primarily used for Associate of Applied Science degrees as they are technician level programs.
3. Prior to 2018, Penn State University reported data for each campus. Starting in 2019, Penn State transitioned to reporting at the university level and does not report any campus-level data.

This dataset contains the total annual unduplicated enrollment headcount and percentages by race and gender for undergraduate and graduate students at public community colleges and state universities in Massachusetts since 2014.

This dataset is 1 of 2 datasets that is also published in the interactive Annual Enrollment dashboard on the Department of Higher Education Data Center:

Public Postsecondary Annual Enrollment Public Postsecondary Annual Enrollment by Race and Gender

Related datasets: Public Postsecondary Fall Enrollment Public Postsecondary Fall Enrollment by Race and Gender

Notes: - Data appear as reported to the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education. - Annual enrollment refers to a 12 month enrollment period over one fiscal year (July 1 through June 30). - Figures published by DHE may differ slightly from figures published by other institutions and organizations due to differences in timing of publication, data definitions, and calculation logic. - Data for the University of Massachusetts are not included due to unique reporting requirements. See Fall Enrollment for HEIRS data on UMass enrollment. -The most common measure of enrollment is headcount of enrolled students. Annual headcount enrollment is unduplicated, meaning any individual student is only counted once per institution and fiscal year, even if they are enrolled in multiple terms. Enrollment can also be measured as full-time equivalent (FTE) students, a calculation based on the sum of credits carried by all enrolled students. In a fiscal year, 30 undergraduate credits = 1 undergraduate FTE, and 24 graduate credits = 1 graduate FTE at a state university.
