Hello everyone,

A quick question for the QHER crowd:

Does anyone know of source for historical Barron’s selectivity index? (1988-2015)
I assume there isn’t much change in schools’ index over time, but I would like to add it as a variable to a panel data set I am building.

Thank you in advance for any hints or tips,

Erin Eger

Erin,
I remember that UCLA HERI used to sell the variable. Its work asking Kevin Eagan.
Best,
Tatiana

The National Center for Education Statistics offers selected years of Barron’s to restricted-use data licensees, but there are strings attached to restricted-use data. I’m not sure if the data cover all institutions in that year or only the ones that were in the corresponding studies.

 

Title:

 NCES-Barron's Admissions Competitiveness Index Data Files: 1972, 1982, 1992, 2004, , 2008, 2014

Description:

The NCES−Barron’s Admissions Competitiveness Index Data Files: 1972, 1982, 1992, 2004, 2008, 2014 (NCES 2015-332) contain the Barron’s college admissions competitiveness selectivity ratings for 1972, 1982, 1992, 2004, 2008, 2014 along with the NCES Higher Education Information System (HEGIS) FICE ID and Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) UNITID codes and the Office of Postsecondary Education OPEID codes of each postsecondary institution included. Also included are the city and state of each institution included in the Barron’s lists. The years selected correspond to the years that students in the longitudinal studies (NLS-72, HS&B, NELS:88, ELS-2000,HSLS:09, and BPS) initially attended the 4-year postsecondary institutions. Each of the six NCES−Barron’s index files is available in a separate worksheet in an Excel workbook file that is in Excel 1997–2003 compatible format.
