Institutional Research and Effectiveness

The Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness collects, analyzes, and reports data about the university to support decision-making, planning and effectiveness. The office coordinates and supports outcomes assessment efforts in all academic, educational support and administrative units of the university. We value and strive for accuracy, integrity and timeliness.
