Illinois Postsecondary Profiles Launches Equity Profiles

Last week, the Illinois Postsecondary Profiles (IPP) website launched its newest major component, Equity Profiles. The Equity Profiles will shine a light on the success of diverse populations in postsecondary institutions in Illinois. The Equity Profiles joins the site’s other major components: 

  • Institutional Profiles, which allows users to discover the basics about postsecondary institutions, such as different types of schools, tuition, and what credentials are offered.
  • Occupational Profiles, which lets users see the available majors, key employment data, and programs of study for the career pathways in which you are interested. 
  • Regional Profiles, which presents metrics on a map by Illinois Community College district.

The IPP website is a joint effort of the Illinois Board of Higher Education, the Illinois Community College Board, and the Illinois Student Assistance Commission that presents a wide range of postsecondary data from multiple state agencies through a single interface.
