       DATA TAPE AVAILABLE INCLUDING BASIC STATISTICS FROM
               NONCOLLEGIATE INSTITUTIONS, 1990

The U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education
Statistics (NCES) announces the availability of a data tape which
includes basic statistics on the nation's noncollegiate
postsecondary institutions for 1990.  Data were collected on a
consolidated (CN) survey form, as part of the Integrated
Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS).  The tape includes
information on fall enrollment for 1990, 1989-90 completions
data, FY 90 financial data, and 1990 library statistics.

The tape contains data for 2,472 noncollegiate postsecondary
institutions responding to the CN survey.  These schools
represent the universe of 6,284 institutions on the IPEDS file
that do not qualify as being either 1) accredited at the college
level by an agency recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education;
or 2) not accredited but grant a bachelor's, master's, doctor's,
or first-professional degree.  The 2,472 noncollegiate
institutions include 91 graduate certificate-granting schools,
1,046 institutions at the 2-year level, and a sample of 1,335
less-than-2-year schools.

The 1990 survey was the first time the CN form was used to
colelct dat from this segment of the IPEDS universe.  The data
collected on the CN form are a subset of the data elements
collected on the full-scale IPEDS surverys of fall enrollment,
completions, finance, and academic libraries.  A limited number
of data items were requested in order to reduce respondent burden
while continuing to provide statistics on key data elements.
Data from the noncollegiate sector have also been combined with
that of the higher education institutions on each  ofthe
individual survey files for the convenience of the data user.

The overall institutional response rate for the survey is 94.8
percent; however, response rates vary considerably for the
individual parts of the survey.

The tape with documentation is available for $175.  Payment may
be in the form of a check or money order (payable to the U.S.
Department of Education), or charged to VISA or MasterCard.  To
