Comparing PDP and IPEDS Metrics: Using What You Know to Explore What’s New
As a data professional, you’re likely fluent in IPEDS definitions and reporting structures. That familiarity can serve as a strong foundation for exploring the PDP, a student-centered data resource that offers a more comprehensive view of student progress and success.
This workshop uses a compare-and-contrast approach to help you build fluency in PDP metrics by anchoring them to concepts you already know. Through examination of where the PDP aligns with—and diverges from—IPEDS, you’ll gain a clearer understanding of how to interpret PDP data, communicate insights, and decide when to use each system effectively. Whether you’re new to the PDP or are looking to deepen your understanding, this session will help you make the most of both data systems.
