SchoolDESX provides Users with a Specialty Report designed to produce the "Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System" (IPEDS) report. IPEDS is the core postsecondary education data collection program for NCES. Data is collected from all primary providers of postsecondary education in the country in such areas as enrollments, program completions, graduation rates, faculty, staff, finances, institutional prices, and student financial aid. This data is made available on IPEDS website to students, researchers and others.

IPEDS considers postsecondary education as a formal program designed primarily for students beyond the 'compulsory' high school age. This includes programs whose purpose is academic, vocational, and continuing professional education, and excludes avocational and adult basic education programs.
