Spending and Results: What Does the Money Buy? A Delta Data Update, 2000-2010
Desrochers, Donna M.; Hurlburt, Steven
Delta Cost Project at American Institutes for Research
This is one in a series of data briefs developed by the Delta Cost Project at AIR using data from the "IPEDS Analytics: Delta Cost Project Database 1987-2010," which was released on August 14, 2012, by the U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics. The intent of these briefs is to update key tables and figures from "Trends in College Spending: Where does the money come from? Where does it go? What does it buy?" This data brief focuses on institutional spending and outcomes between 2000 and 2010, with particular attention paid to changes between 2009 and 2010. The brief looks at two degree-related measures: (1) Degree and completion ratios that compare the number of degrees or completions (total awards) to student enrollment; and (2)The cost per the total number of degrees or completions awarded, which looks at education and related (E&R) costs (spending focused solely on the educational mission of colleges and universities) through the lens of student outcomes rather than enrollments.
