About this domain’s history: Project SEAPHE (2007–2020)
Before it became a nursing education data hub, seaphe.org was home to an academic research project on admissions in higher education. This page explains that history and points to archived copies of the original materials.
What this domain used to be
From 2007 to about 2020, seaphe.org hosted Project SEAPHE: “Scale and Effects of Admissions Preferences in Higher Education”, a research project run by UCLA Law professor Richard Sander. It published research, datasets, working papers and news on admissions preferences, law school outcomes and California Bar Exam data.
The domain changed hands in 2022. The current SEAPHE (Schools, Exams, Accreditation & Programs in Healthcare Education) is a nursing education data site. It is not affiliated with Project SEAPHE, its researchers, or UCLA, and it does not speak for them.
We do not host any of the original files. Every link below goes to a copy preserved by the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine. Copyright and licensing of those materials remain with their original authors and publishers.

Notes on these links
- Dates show when the Wayback Machine captured each item. The archive may hold other captures; use its calendar view to browse them.
- Some archived pages link to files that were never captured, so not every link inside them will work.
- Questions about the research itself should go to its authors, not to this site.
