GSS CROSSWALK
BETWEEN NCES CIP CODES AND GSS CODES

Survey of Graduate Students and Postdoctorates in
Science and Engineering (GSS) Fall 2010
National Science Foundation & National Institutes of Health

2010 GSS CROSSWALK
Between 2000 NCES Classification of Instructional
Programs (CIP) Codes and GSS Codes
Please continue to use this CIP-GSS crosswalk. This is the same crosswalk that has been
used in prior years, based on the 2000 CIP.
Do not include certificate programs or units that only award professional degrees, such as AuD, DDS, DN, DNP, DO,
DPM, DPT, DScPT, JD, MD, ND, OD, OTD, PharmD, or PsyD.
