CIP 101Everything You Always Wanted to Know About CIP Codes

Classification of Instructional Programs Codes18/12/2010CIP 101Why does IMA need to know about CIPs?CIP codes permeate almost everything IMA does. They are used in our federal and state reporting; we track degrees, facilities, departments, majors, faculty, etc. by CIP codes. In addition, IMA needs to be able to convey to others on campus what the codes are and how they are used. 8/12/2010What is the CIP?A taxonomic coding scheme of instructional programs that supports the accurate tracking and reporting of fields of study and program completions activity.8/12/2010What the CIP is NOTThe CIP is not intended to be a regulatory device. CIP codes and their associated programs are standard statistical coding tools that reflect current practice, not a prescriptive list of officially recognized or permitted programs. CIP codes, for the most part, are not intended to correspond exclusively to any specific degree or program level.8/12/2010How is the CIP used?Federally: Primarily used by postsecondary institutions when submitting the Completions Component of IPEDS (Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System federal collection of data)Institutionally: To track degrees, faculty, courses, etc.8/12/2010History of CIP1979-80: As part of its program to provide assistance to the education community, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) awarded a contract to the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems (NCHEMS) to develop a classification of instructional programs and to provide terms and definitions for describing instructional programs for all of education.
