MCLA’s Office of Institutional Research is responsible for leading and coordinating
comprehensive external and internal reporting and analysis, survey administration,
and project management to support the mission of MCLA. Institutional Research works
with campus partners to facilitate informed decision-making, lead data-driven planning,
and promote the use of analytics to foster institutional effectiveness.
The office of institutional research:
- Serves as an authoritative source for current and historical official College data
and statistics.
- Works with other College constituencies to develop, coordinate, and maintain a collection
of electronic data archives, reports, and critical indicators that integrate data
from a variety of internal and external sources.
- Works with other College constituencies to coordinate and to ensure the accuracy of
the College’s response to national statistical surveys, questionnaires, and other
non-routine requests for information. The Office serves as a primary contact with
state and federal agencies and several professional organizations with respect to
information reporting.
- Reviews and audits records to ensure the integrity of institutional data and data
definitions, and to coordinate with others so that needed data fields are collected,
updated, and accurately maintained.
