Where does Peterson's college data come from?
It comes from Peterson's Annual Surveys. Our surveys are sent to thousands of
accredited colleges and universities that meet our criteria, resulting in tens
of thousands of survey pages processed each year. All data is submitted by
officials at each school. In addition, many of the institutions that submitted
data were contacted directly by Peterson's research staff to verify unusual
figures, resolve discrepancies, or obtain additional data. All usable
information received in time before the close of each survey is included in each
database.
