The Common Data Set (CDS) is a standardized set of questions most often asked by parents, students, and other members of the higher education community. Many institutions voluntarily complete the CDS each year to improve the comparability of data. Please see the Common Data Set Initiative for more information.
The CDS contains general information about the University, enrollment and persistence, admission, academic offerings and policies, student life, annual expenses, financial aid, faculty and class size, and degrees conferred.
