To distinguish eligible programs of study, PHEAA leverages a six-digit number used by the U.S. Department of Education to standardize and classify academic programs. These six-digit numbers are called Classification of Instructional Program (CIP) Codes. Review the Grow PA Grant CIP Codes for a list of majors.
