Institutional Research (IR) empowers data-informed decision-making across the institution. We collect, analyze, interpret, and disseminate timely and accurate data to support academic management and decision-making, strategic planning, assessment, and compliance reporting.
Our work enables UIS to foster a culture of continuous improvement, grounded in evidence and aligned with institutional priorities. Our services include:
- Providing institutional data on students, faculty, staff, and academic programs
