Institutional Research overview

Institutional Research (IR) is a unit within Academic Affairs that provides information in support of internal and external reporting, decision-making, strategic planning, program review, and faculty activities. IR is the official reporting source of student information to the San Francisco State University and CSU. We also provide student data around admissions, student and course enrollment, retention and graduation, and time-to-degree in support of student success efforts.

What we do

  • Analyze data to help SF State better understand our students
  • Apply a diversity and equity lens to help close opportunity gaps for our historically underserved students
  • Solve problems, innovate, get our hands dirty, and design graphical displays of information
  • Believe in the importance of collaboration and the positive impact it can have on the University's mission
  • Look forward to working with you
