Institutional Research

The mission of the Office of Institutional Research is to provide and to coordinate accurate and reliable data to support decision-making, assessment, and planning activities aimed at fulfilling the stated mission and goals of 色界吧.

About

Institutional Research maintains a repository of aggregate statistics and information about students, faculty and staff, alumni, and various aspects of the college. The office also coordinates efforts and provides data for federal and state mandated reporting (including accreditation), college guides and other external publications. In addition, the office regularly produces research for senior leadership, administrative offices, college committees, academic departments, and faculty on the student experience, student outcomes, performance indicators, benchmarking and comparisons to other institutions, and performs ad-hoc analyses to support a variety of assessment efforts.

Some of the data within this site is open to the general public and some is restricted to internal audiences.

The statistics presented here are official, but there may be many ways of reporting and interpreting similar data.
