The primary driver of effective higher education performance measurement systems is a database that enables time-efficient and reliable linear data trending for planning, policy development, and performance assessment.

The Common Data Set (CDS) initiative is a collaborative effort among data providers in the higher education community and publishers as represented by the College Board, Peterson’s, and U.S. News & World Report.
