Institutional Research
Welcome to Institutional Research and Effectiveness!
The MVSU Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness (IRE) is the official source for information pertaining to the institution. Data concerning MVSU, including its students, courses, personnel, programs, and facilities as well as relevant external data are available from our office. We are responsible for campus compliance to external reporting to agencies such as the Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL), the National Center for Education Statistics, the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), the National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education (NAFEO), and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). We also respond to numerous requests from college guidebooks and magazine publishers.
Internally, the information we collect is used to support planning, policy development, research and decision-making. As such, we provide many routine and ad hoc reports to academic administrators, administrative officers, and other members of the MVSU community.
In a combined role of institutional research and institutional effectiveness, IRE also oversees assessment — a mandate for determining the well being of the Institution. As the cornerstone of the accreditation process and an essential element in planning, IRE documents quality and effectiveness by employing a comprehensive system for evaluating how efficiently the University achieves its established goals.
