The U.S. Department of Education has updated the College Scorecard dataset, which includes information from 1996-2017 on student completion, debt and repayment, and earnings for nearly 6,000-degree and non-degree granting higher education institutions. The dataset includes graduation rates for non-first-time and non-full-time students as well as preliminary data on student loan debt by field of study. Users can explore the data through the College Scorecard tool.
