The office of Institutional Research and Planning supports the University in planning, goal-setting, assessment, institutional research and reporting, and student success initiatives.
We provide data to both internal and external constituents in order to meet federal and state reporting requirements, support accreditation, measure student learning outcomes, inform curricular development, and guide strategic initiatives.
We encourage our faculty and staff to contact us for specific data needs and to click below for additional resources and information.
We also offer our Research Roundtable, a monthly journal club for exploring literature on higher education practices and enhancing data literacy, every first Wednesday for all staff and faculty.

The next Research Roundtable meeting will take place on Wednesday, December 4 from 9-10 a.m. in the Mazzaferro Conference Room (MAZZ 203). For this session, we’ll be discussing a paper on student autonomy and its role in fostering academic success and personal growth. Please find the paper for the next discussion.
We want to stress that this journal club is open to all, regardless of your level of experience with reading or interpreting scientific papers. Whether you’re a seasoned researcher or new to academic literature, your perspective is welcome and valued. While we encourage participants to read the full paper, the minimum recommendation is to review the abstract.
Please feel free to suggest articles or topics you'd like to explore in future sessions. If you’re interested in joining or have any questions, kindly email Becca at rbuonoco@fitchburgstate.edu. Drop-ins will always be welcome!
Coming soon.
