Providing Information to Drive Institutional Decision-Making Key Dimensions of Analytics & Planning
Whether you are seeking basic information about Jacksonville University or evidence that we continuously improve in hopes of ensuring our students succeed, the Office of Analytics & Planning is your go-to source for all things related to accreditation, assessment, institutional research, and strategic planning.
Strategic Planning Where We Are Going
Sound strategic planning is critical for all institutions of higher education today. Public or private. Large or small. Well-resourced or not. Every decision made on campus involves time and money. In an environment characterized by increasing demands and limited resources, setting forth an intentional, vision-based path through strategic planning is essential.

“Analytics can save higher education. Really.”
Institutional Research The Numbers
The Office of Analytics & Planning is the central source for information about Jacksonville University. We drive campus' planning and decision-making activities and all requests regarding institutional data. OAP provides information to outside agencies, federal and state government, and the campus community. We deliver accurate, timely, and useful reports and analyses to ensure data-informed decision-making across all areas of campus. To this end, OAP works with data custodians throughout the university to ensure that benchmark files for student, course, personnel, and finance data are accurate, consistent, and current.
