The Common Data Set (CDS) contains information about colleges and universities that is regularly used by the higher education community and publishers such as the College Board, Peterson’s, and U.S. News & World Report. The initiative aspires to improve the quality and accuracy of information provided and to use the same definitions for all schools. SUNY Oswego typically relies on CDS-based definitions when developing our own data dashboards and reports, which users may find more accessible. Learn more about the CDS at the Common Data Set website and dive deeper into information about SUNY Oswego on the Institutional Data page.
