The Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness (IRE) is responsible for the collection, analysis, and reporting of data to assist in strategic, academic, and administrative decisions. We serve the college by addressing needs for information, providing support to assessment of student learning across campus and providing information about our student body. Information is provided internally to departments across campus and externally for various state and federal reporting requirements in higher education. External reporting includes annual completion of the Common Data Set and IPEDS (Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System).
