About CIP Codes

The tables allow you to search graduates by program of study, along with award level, using CIP codes. CIP Codes have a numeric code assigned to them along with a program name.

There are about 800 different programs students can study at Minnesota postsecondary institutions. Academic programs are classified using a CIP taxonomic coding scheme developed by the U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics. Browse CIP codes to understand how the classification is constructed.

Programs can be searched at three different CIP levels:

2 digit CIP level groups programs into 38 broad academic categories.

4 digit CIP level expands programs within each 2 digit CIP category. A 2 digit CIP can contain multiple 4 digit CIP programs.

6 digit CIP level expands programs within each 4 digit CIP category. A 6 digit CIP is the most program descriptive level. This is the program name graduates use to identify their program of study.
