Institutional Research
The Institutional Research team collects, analyzes, and interprets a wide variety of data about the university and its external environment.
Our team assesses institutional outcomes, measures institutional performance against strategic planning goals, performs comparative analyses with peer institutions, and reports to campus constituencies and external agencies.
Working with the Office of the Provost and Institutional Planning, we supply data, information, and analytical studies to help campus planning activities and support various campus workgroups.
