The data contain information about the geographic locations of graduates from 2,600 public and private four-year and two-year colleges and universities in the US obtained from publicly accessible institutional webpages from a popular professional networking site. The number of such graduates in each of 278 areas in the US for each institution is included, along with institutional identifiers and characteristics obtained from several other public sources. Various geographic crosswalks for linking the data with other geographic information are also included.

College and Beyond II (CBII) is a new data resource for studying the impact and outcomes of higher education. It contains student record and transcript data on bachelor’s-seeking undergraduates enrolled from 2000-2021 at 19 public colleges across seven university systems. In total, CBII contains data on over 1 million students. These data are linked to qualitative data on course content, survey data on long-term life outcomes for a subset of students, National Student Clearinghouse data on educational attainment, and more.
