The '''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]] and [[Canada]].

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, 2010, and 2020. The 2020 edition (CIP 2020) is the fifth 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, "[https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/cipcode/cipdetail.aspx?y=56&cipid=90824 Forensic Science and Technology]" has the six-digit code 43.01060406, which places it in "Criminal[https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/cipcode/cipdetail.aspx?y=56&cipid=91660 JusticeSecurity Science and CorrectionsTechnology]" (43.0104) and "[https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/cipcode/cipdetail.aspx?y=56&cip=43 Homeland Security, Law Enforcement, Firefighting and Related Protective Services]" (two-digit CIP 43).
