bc_postsecondary

B.C. post-secondary institutions: enrolment, credentials, grants, fees, headcount, loan defaults

Yearly figures for B.C. public post-secondary institutions from the Ministry of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills open data: FTE enrolments (fte_enrolment) and targets (fte_target) by institution, credentials awarded by level (credentials), provincial operating grants (operating_grants), routine capital by region (routine_capital), domestic and international headcount (headcount), mandatory fees for the arts program (mandatory_fees), and student loan default rates for public and private institutions (loan_default_public, loan_default_private; 2012 cohorts, not current). Aggregates by institution or region: no students. Without a year range the latest period is returned.

Cost: 1 unit of your allowance (see Rate limits).
