Hey guys, I'm doing some research on Ohio State University and I wanted to look at their Common Data Set (CDS). I know the data is supposed to be available online, but I can't seem to find it. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks a lot!
Hey there! Finding college Common Data Sets can sometimes be a bit tricky, as they may be located on an obscure page on a university website or at times don't even have their own dedicated page. For Ohio State University, you can find their Common Data Set information on their Institutional Data page: https://oaa.osu.edu/institutional-data.
Once you're on this page, you'll see the available Common Data Sets listed by academic year for each campus. Simply click on the relevant academic year to download the corresponding Common Data Set in PDF format. This will give you the detailed information about admissions, enrollment, and other important statistics for a particular OSU campus.
As a pro tip, rather than trying to navigate the navigate the maze of a college website when searching for a school's Common Data Set, simply google "[x school] common data set." This approach will usually lead to the page popping up straight away, making it much more efficient.
Good luck with your research, and I hope you find the information you're looking for!
