The Office of Institutional Research and Assessment is committed to the improvement of instructional effectiveness through the assessment of teaching and learning, the evaluation of educational practices and services, and the ongoing reporting of evaluative data for institutional decision making and planning.

Reporting to the Vice President for Academic Affairs, the office's functions include internal research support and external reporting. Internal research support is provided for academic departments, faculty committees, and administrative offices. Typical projects include surveying students, analysis of student transcript data, admission research, and analysis of data collected by other offices. The office also serves an advisory role for others conducting research about the college.

External reporting includes providing data about the college to federal and state agencies, to our accrediting agencies (Middle States Commission on Higher Education) and to various college guidebooks.
