The '''Classification of Instructional Programs''' ('''CIP''') is a [[Taxonomy (biology)|taxonomy]] of [[FieldList of study|fieldsacademic ofdisciplines|academic studydisciplines]] at academic institutions of [[higher education]] in the [[United States]]. and [[Canada]].

The CIP was originally developed by the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) in 1980, with revisions occurring in 1985 and 1990<ref>http://nces.ed.gov/pubs2002/cip2000/</ref>. The 2000 edition (CIP-2000) is the third and current revision of the taxonomy. Instructional programs are classified by a six-digit CIP at the most granular level and are classified according to the two-digit and four-digit prefixes of the code. For example ''Forensic Science and Technology'' has the six-digit code '''430106''', which situates it in ''Criminal Justice and Corrections'' (four-digit CIP '''4301''') as well as ''Security and Protective Services'' (two-digit CIP '''43''').
