At the University of Illinois Springfield (UIS), our mission is to provide an accessible, high-quality education that prepares students for success, strengthens our communities, and advances the public good. We measure our progress by the outcomes we achieve for our students and by how we compare with peer institutions across key areas of student success and institutional performance.

The dashboard below uses publicly available data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) to provide a comparative view of UIS alongside similar colleges and universities. Use the filters on the left side of the dashboard to explore results by metric, institution, sector, and state.
