'''Classification of Instructional Programs''' ('''CIP''') is a [[Taxonomy (biology)|taxonomy]] of [[List of academic disciplines|academic disciplines]] at institutions of [[higher education]] in the [[United States]].

The CIP was originally developed by the [[National Center for Education Statistics]] (NCES) of the [[United States Department of Education]] in 1980 and was revised in 1985, 1990, 2000 and 19902010. The 20002010 edition (CIP-2000 2010) is the thirdfourth 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 43010643.0106, which places it in "Criminal Justice and Corrections" (430143.01) and "Homeland Security, Law Enforcement, Firefighting and Related Protective Services" (two-digit CIP 43).
