The Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) is a taxonomic coding scheme that contains titles and descriptions of instructional programs. CIP codes are used by educational institutions, government agencies, and researchers to classify academic programs and track educational data. The 2020 version includes comprehensive updates and new program classifications.
CIP codes use a hierarchical structure with up to six digits. The first two digits represent the major field of study (e.g., 01 for Agriculture), the next two digits represent the subfield, and additional digits provide more specific classifications. Each code includes a title, definition, cross-references to related codes, and examples of programs.
CIP codes are essential for reporting educational statistics, conducting research, and understanding program offerings. They help institutions classify their programs consistently, enable data comparability across institutions, and support students in finding programs that match their interests.

The CIP system is periodically updated to reflect changes in educational programs and emerging fields. The 2020 version includes new codes for emerging disciplines, updated definitions, and improved cross-referencing.
