Mission

The Planning & Institutional Research Offices are dedicated to providing the University community with information and analysis to influence planning and decision-making. We provide data to external agencies to maintain the University's federal, state, and accreditation compliance. We devote special attention to assisting the University to assess its progress in fulfilling its mission and strategic plan. (revised August 2004)

The primary responsibilities of the offices include:

• Providing support for planning activities
• Conducting institutional effectiveness activities
• Reporting internal performance measures
• Coordinating and completing required external reports
• Offering research-related services, such as conducting studies, serving as consultants, and responding to ad hoc requests for data
