NOTES: The U.S. Department of Education's IPEDS Completions Survey uses the CIP codes to help responding institutions classify degrees according to the instructional programs awarding the degrees. The National Science
Foundation's SED uses its own field of degree taxonomy to help respondents (doctorate recipients) self-report their field for each degree earned.
