Institutional Surveys and Reports
The Office of Institutional Research and Assessment (OIRA) conducts surveys and analyses that support planning and assessment activities on campus. OIRA works jointly with other offices on campus, including the Career Development Center and Alumni Relations, to administer several of these surveys, such as the Cap and Gown Survey and various alumni surveys.
National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE)
Graduation surveys (Exit surveys, Cap and Gown Survey)
Alumni surveys (Five-Year Out Alumni Survey, Recent Graduates Survey)
Job Placement and Graduate and Professional Education Placement of Graduated Students
The Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 requires institutions to make available to current and prospective students information on job placement and graduate and professional education placement for graduated students. This information is gathered from the results of the Recent Graduates Survey.
