IPEDS replaced the Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS) in 1986. HEGIS collected data from 1966 to 1986 from a more limited universe of approximately 3,400 institutions accredited at the college level by an association recognized by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education. The transition to the IPEDS program expanded the universe to include all institutions whose primary purpose was the provision of postsecondary education.[1]
Examples
For example, while CSUMB has a Sustainable Hospitality Management degree program, the HEGIS equivalent would be Hotel and Restaurant Management.
