The Common Data Set
The Common Data Set (CDS) supplies information about Wellesley College for use by publishers and other data gatherers in their surveys of the College.
It was designed in a collaborative effort of The College Board, Wintergreen/Orchard House, Peterson’s, U.S. News & World Report, and the educational community; and is used nationwide. The survey is completed each November and updated each spring after tuition rates are set.
Common Data Sets are available for the following academic years: 2005-2006 through 2025-2026.
