Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS) V: Institutional Characteristics of Colleges and Universities, 1970-1971

The Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS) series was designed to provide comprehensive information on various aspects of postsecondary education in the United States and its territories (American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Marshall Islands) and Department of Defense schools outside the United States. Data are available for both public and private two-year and four-year institutions. The HEGIS Institutional Characteristics component for 1970-1971 sought data on basic characteristics from institutions of higher education. The data cover information on name, address, and telephone number of the institution as well as information about accreditations, state and city demographics, calendar system, program types, enrollment figures, admissions requirements, and administrative officers.
