Institutional Research

Office of Planning and Institutional Effectiveness compiles and reports official Marymount statistics to government, regulatory, and private requestors. These data are collected in accordance with defined guidelines to allow for comparison between institutions. For example, enrollment data reflect actual enrollment numbers during a census date defined by the U.S. Department of Education.

The Office of Planning and Institutional Effectiveness annually publishes the following documents that provide official MU data. These documents can be viewed online or downloaded using Adobe Acrobat Reader:
