Answering questions related to a school’s student body can help institutions tailor services, communication, and resources. The scope of these projects depends on the number of questions, the availability of data, and how you’d like the answers presented. Examples of CRC’s institutional research work are described below:

Understanding Non-matriculant Behavior: Coordinated phone surveys of targeted groups of non-matriculants to better understand reasons for not choosing the school.

Campus Visit Program Evaluation: Designed online surveys for all types of campus visitors and created an analysis plan based on timing and type of visit.

First-time Pass Rate Analysis: Helped schools identify students who are at risk of failing the bar exam on their first attempt. Statistically compared pass rates and mean MBE scores for specified groups of students. Students were identified based on variables including course selection, incoming profile, and demographics.

Alumni Perception Survey: Created alumni survey based on the needs of the college’s administration. Analyzed and presented data from alumni surveys related to satisfaction, employment, and giving practices.

Student Satisfaction Surveys & Focus Groups: Conducted survey and focus groups to delve further into issues raised by other measures of satisfaction and student engagement.
