Institutional Research

Our office is responsible for providing university data and information for use by students, faculty, administration, peer institutions, outside higher education reporting organizations and the board of trustees.

The information our office maintains provides critical insight for use in surveys, reports, and comparisons that assist key decision makers here at La Sierra University. As primary gatherers of this data, it is our goal to supply the most accurate, relevant, and reliable statistics possible. This, in turn, assists executive management as well as the university community in planning and budgeting, conducting institutional assessments, completing program evaluations, and developing policy decisions. By upholding the quality and integrity of the data and information collected, we preserve accountability and ensure the ability of our university administration and other key constituents to achieve knowledgeable and timely results.

Should you have any comments or suggestions on how to improve our website, please contact the Office of Institutional Research at dkowarsc@lasierra.edu to send me a message. Your comments and suggestions will be recognized and assessed appropriately.
