The CHE announced today that multiple higher education data resources have been added to our website in the past month:

1. Distance Education Dashboard: This comprehensive analysis explores distance education trends in South Carolina and compares them to the 15-state Southern Regional Educational Board area. Using data sourced from the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA), it provides valuable insights into participation in distance education and highlights the need for more robust data collection in this area.
2. Academic Programs and Career Clusters Dashboard: Designed for institutional administrators and state decision-makers, this tool offers detailed insights into academic program trends across South Carolina. It links these trends to career clusters and workforce regions, providing data from 1992 to 2024.
3. Merit and Non-Merit Aid Factbook: This updated analysis combines CHE Management Information System (CHEMIS) and Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) data with student-level demographic details to track trends in merit and non-merit scholarships from 2008 to 2023. The analysis includes detailed information on award amounts, financial aid trends, institutional data, and cost of attendance.
4. 2024 Institutional Factsheet: The latest factsheet offers an up-to-date snapshot of institutional characteristics and performance metrics. This resource provides key information on institutional data for the year 2024.
