What is institutional research? 

The Office of Institutional Research provides and coordinates institutional information to support reporting, decision-making, and planning activities of the University. The Office serves the administration, trustees, faculty, and other internal and external constitutencies of the University.  These services include:

•  Assisting the institution in its planning and assessment activities

•  Responding to internal and external institutional data requests

•  Conducting studies and data analysis of special programs or one-time issues

•  Producing a regular cycle of institutional reports and data analysis, and administration of student surveys designed to support recurring decision needs of the institution

•  Completing state and federal reporting requirements

This site is a resource for institutional information and data. Reports and analyses of student surveys will be viewable by on-campus users through a site to be announced.  The UP at a Glance page is a concise profile of UP and its students for prospective students and parents.
