The Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) is used for classifying instructional programs according to field of study. CIP was originally created by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) in the United States. It is a hierarchical classification. CIP Canada 2000 is the adaptation of this classification for use in Canada. It comprises 6 chapters, 49 2-digit series, 385 4-digit subseries and 1,432 6-digit instructional program classes. The classification manual provides a detailed description of each instructional program class together with illustrative examples of the types of instructional programs found in that class. Illustrative examples are also provided of closely related programs that are classified elsewhere. In addition, the manual includes an introduction to CIP, various look-up tables, and an alternative structure for the aggregation of field of study data. CIP has a ten-year revision cycle.
