The purpose of the Completions component of IPEDS is to collect data on postsecondary awards ranging from baccalaureate degrees to doctoral degrees. Data collected include degree completions by level and other formal awards by length of program, by race/ethnicity and gender of recipient, and by program as described by 6-digit CIP (Classification of Instructional Programs) codes.
This report is submitted by mid-October for the degrees awarded the prior year (Summer, Fall, Spring).
