Institutional Research
The Office of Institutional Research (IR) at Tiffin University was established in 2003 as a separate entity to coordinate institutional research activities under one umbrella. Among the responsibilities of IR are (a) collecting and analyzing data, (b) completing/administering routine external and internal surveys, and (c) complying with federal and state educational requirements. Thus, the department serves as a comprehensive source for information about Tiffin University.
The function of this site is to provide a data depository accessible to everyone. With written permission and upon approval by administration, we may provide the original data for further analysis, presentation, etc.
