<a href="http://nces.ed.gov/datalab/postsecondary/index.aspx">QuickStats</a> and <a href="http://nces.ed.gov/datalab/index.aspx">
PowerStats</a>, and the microdata are available via <a href="http://nces.ed.gov/statprog/instruct.asp">
NCES’ restricted-use data licensing program</a>. This update adds many new variables, including hundreds of source variables, approximately 200 new derived variables, and approximately 70 variables on teaching.<br>
The 2008/12 Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B:08/12) is a nationally representative, longitudinal sample survey of students who completed the requirements for a bachelor’s degree during the 2007–08 academic year.
<br>
<br>
In addition to the final data files, the B&B:08/12 Data File Documentation report is also available. This report describes the universe, methods, and data collection procedures used in the second follow-up of the B&B:08 cohort in 2012.
