Institutional Research and Analytics at 51ÁÔÆæ

We Provide Data to Support Our Students’ Success!

The Institutional Research team provides the College with data to make equity-based decisions.

We aim to:

  • Promote student achievement by examining student success gaps,
  • Increase adoption of data in everyday decision making across all levels of the college,
  • Promote a thoughtful approach to decision making through critical reflections of data,
  • Provide the public with critical enrollment and success data through reporting to Federal and State agencies.

Our analyses evaluate institutional data and statistics including metrics like retention rate, graduation rate, transfer rates and examine student achievement gaps aiming to improve outcomes for each student.
