Institutional Research and Analytics

Welcome to OIRA

The Office of Institutional Research and Analytics (OIRA) supports institutional enrollment management, assessment, program review, accreditation, and academic planning by collecting, integrating, analyzing, and reporting varied institutional data and information. We also respond to requests for institutional data from state and federal agencies and other external organizations.

Our goal is to maintain a robust history of institutional and comparative data, provide strong analytical support for evidence-based decision-making, and strengthen the integrity and governance of information for use by the MICA community.

OIRA's public reports provide official statistics about the MICA across a range of topics. To access OIRA's internal reports, which are restricted to MICA faculty and staff, please visit the MICA Data page. If you are faculty or staff and cannot find what you need in the reports below, feel free to submit a custom Data Request.   

The MICA Data Catalog is a user-friendly index of reports and dashboards available to the MICA community. 
There is a Key assigned to each report or dashboard.

This section shows the results for the surveys that are administered on a recurring basis. 

Please note that several of the reports on this page are restricted to campus.

OIRA is not authorized to provide information about individuals, such as lists or rosters. For such inquiries, please reach out to the appropriate office, such as the Office of the Registrar or Human Resources.

Basic information requests are usually completed within 1 to 2 weeks. More complex analyses may take several months to finish. OIRA prioritizes information requests based on the availability of data on our OIRA website and our current workload at the time of your request.

Most of these databases are prepared by State or federal agencies such as the U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and the National Science Foundation. OIRA will update this list periodically. Please bookmark it and share it with colleagues because it’s sure to come in handy.
