SREB Fact Book Dashboards

Overview

Fact Book Dashboards

The SREB Fact Book on Higher Education is one of the nation’s most comprehensive collections of comparative data on higher education. For decades, state leaders, policymakers, researchers and journalists have used the Fact Book to find accurate, comparable data and learn more about long-term trends.

In 2026, the Fact Book was redesigned into interactive dashboards to provide a more engaging and user-friendly experience. Rather than navigating static tables and reports, users can quickly explore data, customize views, compare trends across states and sectors, and access information in a format that supports faster analysis and decision-making. While the format has changed, the Fact Book remains committed to delivering the accurate, comparable data that stakeholders have relied on for decades.
