MD_Major_CIPCode

CIP code for major. Used to convert majors to a portable, cross-institutional format defined by the US federal government.

The purpose of the Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) is to provide a taxonomic scheme that will support the accurate tracking, assessment, and reporting of fields of study and program completions activity. CIP was originally developed by the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) in 1980, with revisions occurring in 1985 and 1990. The 2000 edition (CIP-2000) is the third revision of the taxonomy and presents an updated taxonomy of instructional program classifications and descriptions.

Not all majors at Carleton will have CIP codes, and the CIP codes may change over time.
