The Postsecondary Data Partnership (PDP) is a nationwide effort to help colleges and universities gain a fuller picture of student progress and outcomes, meet various reporting requirements, and identify where to focus their resources. Both institutions and educational organizations can participate in the PDP.
Data provided by participating PDP institutions is different from other national public and private sources of information.
That’s because the PDP captures rich information on learners and combines it with financial aid information so you can examine early momentum metrics, such as credit accumulation and course completion, and explore equity gaps across multiple dimensions, such as gender, race/ethnicity, enrollment intensity, college placement level, and more.
The National Student Clearinghouse Student Insights Dashboard is built around the idea that easier access to better data about educational institutions and trends empowers parents, students, and education professionals to make better decisions about higher education.
