Working on my dissertation using restricted BPS 12\/17 data focused on certificate program completion. I need program-level normal time to completion (ideally in credit or clock hours) linkable by award level + CIP code + UNITID.<\/p>\n
What I’ve already ruled out:<\/p>\n
– IPEDS uses “normal time” for grad rate calculations but doesn’t publish it as a variable<\/p>\n
– College Scorecard has program-level labor market outcomes but no program length<\/p>\n
– The Gainful Employment disclosure files (from FSA) seemed relevant for this but again don’t include program length information<\/p>\n
– NSLDS has what I need but requires restricted access I don’t have<\/p>\n
I know this data must exist out there and it doesn’t seem like super sensitive information so I’m frustrated by the fact that I can’t find it.<\/p>\n
Has anyone found a public dataset that includes this? Or a workaround that doesn’t involve manually scraping program pages? <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
