IPEDS Peer Analysis Reports

Comparative Peer Analysis reports have been compiled by the University using data from IPEDS Data Center. Typically, data is one or two years old because of the reporting cycle timeline.

College Scorecard Peer Analysis

Beginning in 2013, the U.S. Department of Education released an interactive tool called the College Scorecard, offering families and students a comparative view of colleges and universities.

The comprehensive list of Peer Institutions includes links to the individual schools’ webpages, and Common Data Set pages (where available).
