US Colleges & Universities
U.S. Location Dataset // 6,072

Every college and university in the United States — 6,072 Title IV institutions from the federal IPEDS collection for 2024-25. Street address, coordinates, phone, website and athletics URL on nearly every record, plus sector and control, Carnegie classification, undergraduate enrolment, admission rate, in-state and out-of-state tuition, degree levels offered, HBCU, tribal and land-grant flags, county, metro area, and core revenue and expenses. Named contacts by job function: the chief administrator on 98.8% of records, and a named finance, controller, procurement or grants contact on 60.0% — from IRS Form 990 officer schedules and SAM.gov registrations, both public domain. The 2,036 institutions with athletics programmes also carry their NCAA/NAIA classification, the sports they sponsor and their athlete counts by sex, from the federal Equity in Athletics collection, and 831 carry a named athletic director read from the school's own published staff directory. No email addresses on this file — no federal source publishes one for a college, and nothing here is generated from a person's name and the institution's domain. That gap is the reason this costs a fraction of what a compiled contact list charges for the same institutions. One row is one institution, at its main campus address — 6,072 of them, the full national file. It is built from the federal IPEDS collection run by the National Center for Education Statistics, the Department of Education's Equity in Athletics Data Analysis collection, the College Scorecard, IRS Form 990 officer schedules, SAM.gov entity registrations, and the staff directories institutions publish on their own athletics sites The federal sources are US government works in the public domain. The athletics staff-directory rows carry the page they were read from and the date they were read. Nothing in it was bought, licensed or taken from another company's product. Measured on every row of this file: a street address on 100.0%, a phone number on 98.8%, a website on 98.8%, map coordinates on 100.0%, the chief administrator's name on 98.8%, core revenue on 98.2%. 98 columns in all, and the page lists the fill rate for each one. On the record: we compare every file to the fullest published competitor list before selling it and require 80.0% of their fields. This one measures 93.8% against Exact Data (Data Axle) The one field we cannot replicate is a contact email, which no federal source publishes for a college; campus square footage, which no federal collection publishes at all, is the second. What is not in it: No email addresses on the institution file. No federal source publishes a contact email for a college, and nothing here is generated from a name and a domain. No campus square footage. No federal collection publishes it. Not a branch-campus list. A university with several campuses under one federal id is one row. No rows from the NCAA member directory. Its terms prohibit republication.

The file has all 6,072 locations across 59 states in one download. Building the same list by searching one area at a time tends to miss places, and a missed place looks like a gap in coverage that is not really there.
