Some variables are unique to the CSP, but whenever possible we have used definitions and codes existing in other data collection projects. For example, a variable that specifies students majors is coded according to Classification for Instructional Programs (CIP) standard conventions (see http://nces.ed.gov/pubs2002/cip2000/ ); race/ethnicity is coded using Department of Education (DOE) standards.
