The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), located within the U.S. Department of Education and the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), is the primary federal entity for collecting and analyzing data related to education. NCES collects postsecondary education data about institutions, faculty, and students through its universe collection, the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), and through a number of longitudinal studies. The Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002 established IES within the Education Department, and IES brings rigorous and relevant research, evaluation and statistics to the nation’s education system.
