The primary mission of the institutional research office is to facilitate the systematic collection, analysis and reporting of institutional information, as well as comparison of this information with peer institutions to support Institute planning and decision-making.

The Office is responsible for all Federal and Accreditation compliance reporting annually. We support assessment activities across the institute as well as Admissions decision making. 

This office assists others within and outside of the Institute with ad-hoc requests for data and information, as the central contact for federal, state, and ranking agencies, often in conjunction with the Registrar's office.

IR&A is also the liaison between the Institute and the Middle States Commission of Higher Education. Responding in compliance to all requests for data and information as well as interacting with MSCHE at the request of members of the Institute.
