Common Data Set

The Common Data Set Initiative is a collaborative effort among data providers in the higher education community and publishers as represented by the College Board, Thomson Peterson's, and U.S. News World Report. The combined goal of this collaboration is to improve the quality and accuracy of information provided for external surveys and to reduce the burden on data providers.
