The Office of Institutional Research
The mission of the Office of Institutional Research is to provide objective, accurate and timely management information to improve planning and decision-making. Ideally this information will improve teaching and learning as well as services to students, resulting in a positive market position.
Institutional Research (IR) is a set of research activities carried out at colleges and universities. IR aims to collect, analyze and report data on students, faculty, and staff; educational activities, programs and facilities; and administrative and support services to provide accurate information for planning and decision making.
This office reports to the provost and conducts research for academic divisions and programs, student services, finance, marketing, recruitment and other college offices. Additionally, the IR Office reports college data to external sources, such as the Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) and federal government departments. Research projects are occasionally submitted for publication to contribute to the scholarly literature in the field.
