IPEDS Data is one of 4 APIs that [Department of Education](https://apis.io/providers/department-of-education/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Bulk Data, Higher Education, IPEDS, NCES, and Postsecondary. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) gathers data annually from every college, university, and technical and vocational institution that participates in the federal student financial aid programs. NCES distributes IPEDS data via downloadable CSV files, Access databases, and a Find Your College tool rather than a public REST API; many of these datasets are also exposed via the College Scorecard and ODP APIs.
