University of Phoenix – DAT/390 – Individual: U.S. Student Aid Initial Database Schema

Materials: https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/about/data-center/school

You are assigned a project to evaluate higher education student aid data from the U.S. government to answer the following questions:

• Which schools generate the highest amount of debt for the average student who attends?
• What is the employment rate for the students who graduate from this school?

You will complete this project through weekly Individual Assignments. Each weekly assignment builds on previous assignments.

This week, you will complete an initial review of the data and prepare an initial database schema and data discrepancy recommendation.
