Several times a year, the U.S. Department of Education
requires schools submit enrollment data to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).
NCES maintains this information in the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). The data is made available on their website to students, researchers, and others.
The data is often presented using the
Carnegie Classification System
The system divides colleges and universities into categories based on several criteria -- including private versus public; admissions requirements; and degree-granting activity (doctoral, master's baccalaureate, and associate's).
Gannon University falls within the
Private-Selective-Master's
category.
