For purposes of publishing the information described in this subsection with respect to an eligible workforce program, for any year for which the number of students is determined by the Secretary to be of insufficient size to maintain the privacy of student data, the Secretary shall, to obtain data for a sufficient number of students to maintain student privacy— aggregate up to 4 years of additional data for such program; only if the aggregated data under clause
(i)is insufficient to maintain student privacy or cannot be aggregated, aggregate data for students who completed or were enrolled in, as applicable, similar programs at the institution (as determined using the first 4 digits of the CIP codes); or only if the aggregated data under clause
(ii)is insufficient to maintain student privacy or cannot be aggregated, aggregate data with respect to all students who completed or were enrolled in, as applicable, any program of the institution of the same credential level, in lieu of data specific to students in such program. The Secretary shall prominently indicate whether data published under this subsection has been aggregated in accordance with subparagraph (A). For purposes of this paragraph, the term CIP code means the 6-digit taxonomic identification code assigned by an institution of higher education to a specific program of study at the institution, determined by the institution in accordance with the Classification of Instructional Programs published by the National Center for Education Statistics. .
