CIP Codes

The "Classification of Instructional Programs" (CIP)  is a taxonomic coding scheme that contains titles and descriptions of primarily postsecondary instructional programs.  It was developed to facilitate NCES&Mac226; collection and reporting of postsecondary degree completions by major field of study using standard classifications that capture the majority of reportable program  activity. The CIP: 2000 edition is the third revision of the CIP.  It was originally published in 1980 and was revised in 1985 and 1990. The CIP is the accepted federal government statistical standard on instructional program classifications and the 2000 edition has been adopted as the standard field of study taxonomy by Statistics Canada.
