Winthrop University’s Fact Book is produced by the Institutional Research Office. The Fact Book features summarized, official data, as reported to the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education (CHE) and the U.S. Department of Education’s Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), and includes five-year trends. Official data are published to the Fact Book as they become available.
When possible, data from fall and spring semesters are provided, but they are shown on separate pages. For reporting purposes, official annual numbers are based on fall data. In order to meaningfully compare data over time, fall semesters should be compared to fall and spring to spring.
The data published in the Fact Book represent frequently requested data elements. The goal of the Institutional Research Office is to provide a collection of data meeting the needs of our campus constituents.
For data unavailable in the Fact Book or Quick Facts pages, please submit an official data request form.
