In order to look at population enrollment rates, we convert the
IPEDS enrollment levels to enrollment rates using Census estimates of the population aged 16 and over.

IPEDS and other government datasets.
* The
IPEDS data used to determine supply includes graduates for every type of nursing program, including Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), RN to baccalaureate, master's, doctoral, and certificate programs.
A related concern is whether NCES graduation rates and
