Getting Started
The Common Data Set (CDS) initiative is a collaborative effort among the higher education community and publishers as represented by the College Board, Peterson's, and U.S. News & World Report. The goal is to improve the quality and accuracy of information, as well as to reduce the reporting burden on data providers. For additional information see the Common Data Set web site.
The IR department employs the use of the Adobe Flash product to publish the Common Data Set document. In order to view the document the Adobe Flash Player 6 or higher must be installed with your internet browser. Some features, like text search, are only available with Flash Player 7 or higher. Version 7 or higher is recommended. Download the free Flash Player from the Macromedia web site.
