Institutional Research & Analysis

Our Mission

Welcome to the Office of Institutional Research & Analysis. Our mission is to produce timely, accurate and unbiased statistical analyses integral to the strategic planning process of the University of Pennsylvania. IR&A serves the executive administration, as well as the broader University community, through the provision of data and information about Penn and its peer institutions. IR&A provides decision support to the Offices of the President and Provost as well as selected university councils, committees, and subcommittees. IR&A addresses Penn's dynamic and decentralized structure by serving as a centralized information repository and clearinghouse. IR&A collects, summarizes, and analyzes data related to Penn students, faculty and staff and compiles information related to finances, research, space and facilities, and alumni. In addition to serving the Penn Community, IR&A responds to information requests from a wide variety of external constituents, coordinates the submission of reports to external agencies and accrediting bodies, and participates in several higher education consortia on behalf of the University.
