Institutional Research

The Institutional Research arm of Analytics & Planning at Jacksonville University facilitates the collection, analysis, and interpretation of institutional and environmental data to support integrated planning and effective decision-making for the entire campus. We oversee survey research, complete all required state and federal reports, serve as the official source for data, statistics, and information about the institution and its programs, and produce the official Census each semester. Equally important, we handle ad hoc data requests from all campus constituents.
