1 Trends in Degree Demographics in Fields Relevant to NCAR Presented by: Rajul Pandya May 29 NCAR Diversity Committee Presentation All data (unless otherwise noted) is from the The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) which is conducted by the Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). Data accessed via This data is sometimes different than the NSF Survey of Earned Doctrates at the PhD level, but it includes degrees at other levels (Masters and PhD) that aren t part of NSF s survey.
