College Tracking Data Services

College Tracking Data Services is a unique data analysis service provided by the BERC Group in partnership with the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC).

CTDS provides meaningful, accurate, consistent, and cost effective data related to college attendance, persistence, and graduation.

Why CTDS?

This service is for organizations (schools, districts, states, foundations) interested in establishing and monitoring valid outcome metrics for college attendance, persistence, and graduation. The system tracks 2- and 4-year college attendance, and reports are disaggregated by ethnicity, gender, and other student and program level variables.

The BERC Group provides data for organizations in a timely and cost effective way. Reports include the names of colleges each student attends and, conversely, for each college how many students attended.
