About the Office

The Office of Institutional Research (OIR), organized in 1968, plays a pivotal role in the planning, evaluation, and effectiveness of Middle Tennessee State University. Its primary function is to serve as the University's chief administrative official in providing data that support the University's institutional effectiveness, planning, policy formation, and decision-making. Data are provided to administrative and academic units through various publications, reports and surveys. For statistical information not available in these formats, data are provided through special adhoc reports. The office serves as the University's primary source for data reporting to federal, state and regional agencies, guidebook publishers and other external publics.
