ipeds-db

Use the Makefile to build a Postgres DB from IPEDS Access files.

Currently, it uses the 2014-15 Provisional data from https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/Section/accessdatabase/

Requirements

• posix operating system (linux or mac os, that sort of thing)
• mdbtools
• python
• csvkit
• postgres
• wget
• make

On Ubuntu, install requirements like

sudo apt-get install mdbtools postgres
pip install csvkit

On Mac OS X, install requirements like

brew install mdbtools postgres wget python
pip install csvkit

Running the MakeFile generates a PSQL database called ipeds. You can query this database however you like, or you can use the ipeds-csv repository to create a spreadsheet of college data, importable to the College Matching site.
