Currently operating Title IV schools (CURROPER = 1). Cost = average annual cost of attendance (COSTT4_A, or COSTT4_P for program-year schools), net price = NPT4_PUB / NPT4_PRIV, both 2024-25; completion = C150_4 (four-year schools, fall 2019 cohort) or C150_L4 (fall 2022 cohort), within 150% of normal time.

- The federal "level of institution" (4-year, 2-year, less than 2-year) and control (public, private nonprofit, private for-profit) as the school reports them.
- Cost a year

- Completion
- Share of full-time, first-time students who completed a degree or certificate at the school within 150% of normal time: at four-year schools, students who started in fall 2019 (or the 2019-20 year); at other schools, fall 2022 (or 2022-23). Rounded to a whole percent.
