Institutional Research
Institutional Research engages university stakeholders with quality and timely information, analysis, and education relative to institutional data for the purpose of advancing a culture of inquiry and continuous improvement.
As advocates for a collaborative and reflective process of organizational learning, Institutional Research actively supports universitywide planning, decision-making, accreditation, and assessment activities, while also coordinating submission of required reports to external agencies and organizations concerning students and employees.
