“The data provided by Peterson’s is an invaluable resource. These data exist nowhere else in this detail over such a large span of time. I fully expect the research we produce from these data to contribute substantially to the literature, and encourage researchers interested in the study of higher education to consider collaborating with Peterson’s.”
