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.
