Common Data Set (top)
The Common Data Set (CDS) initiative is a collaborative effort among data providers in the higher education community and publishers as represented by the College Board, Peterson's, and U.S. News & World Report. The combined goal of this collaboration is to improve the quality and accuracy of information provided to all involved in a student's transition into higher education, as well as to reduce the reporting burden on data providers.

Strategic Indicators (top)
The USNH Board of Trustees formally approved 18 Strategic Indicators in 2006. These indicators will enable USNH to establish a baseline of performance and over time to use multi-year information that will reveal trend lines. The data will help guide Trustees and senior administrators in the establishment of appropriate benchmarks for future performance. This information should help demonstrate the value of the four institutions individually, and show how USNH as a whole adds to the life, workforce, economic development, and quality of life of the State of New Hampshire.

VSA College Portrait (top)
The College Portrait is a source of basic, comparable information about public colleges and institutions presented in a common, user-friendly format. It is designed to be trustworthy source of reliable data for prospective students and their families.

The College Portrait was created as part of the Voluntary System of AccountabilityTM, (VSA) - a program designed to provide greater accountability through accessible, transparent, and comparable information. The VSA and College Portrait are sponsored by two nonprofit organizations in Washington DC – the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) and the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU). More than 80 higher education leaders from 70 public institutions were involved in developing the College Portrait.
