Dig Deep. Drive Policy. Enable Change.

Higher education organizations everywhere prize reliable research and data analyses to support wise decision-making. Yet the institutional researchers in demand are those who understand higher education theory, research, history and mission as well as statistics. We equip students with the knowledge and skills for a range of professional research and/or policy positions in colleges and universities, federal and state agencies, think tanks, foundations and associations.
