What are CIP Codes?
CIP Codes are codes provided by NACE that help allow comparisons of an academic major between undergraduate schools. CIP Codes are defined by NACE in the document attached to this article, "cip-codes.xlsx". Please refer to NACE for the most up to date information on CIP Codes.
How do I assign CIP Codes to the majors in my 12twenty platform?

- Navigate to the Picklists tab of the Students & Alumni site settings page
- Select 'Undergrad Major'
- Use the ellipses icon next to any major to select Edit
- Enter the appropriate code in the CIP Code field, and select Save
Note: If you have the complete list of CIP Codes for your platform's majors list, kindly send it to support@12twenty.com and we will upload the codes on your behalf!
