University Statistics
Less time on reports, more time on insight
Most universities have plenty of university statistics. But every department has different needs, and it can be hard to find and understand the data you need. From student data in Institutional Research to outreach activity in Development, Tableau can help you use your data to drive decisions.
Understand Development better with Tableau.
manage alumni relations and development
Development enables the long-term mission of many institutions. Map where your major donors come from and identify giving trends over time. Define and dig into the important segments of your alumni base.
analyze student data
Where do your students come from? What courses are they selecting? How are they doing? Many universities and colleges use Tableau to get insight into what student data. For example, DePauw University uses Tableau to analyze the incoming class of freshmen by ACT score and GPA:
analyze faculty and staff data
Improve your retention, planning and salary management. Answer questions dynamically: what's the optimal faculty distribution relative to student need and hiring costs?
simplify IPEDS reporting
Preparing each year’s Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) reports is usually a tedious, manual process for Institutional Researchers. With Tableau, you can create your IPEDS report once and always connect to new data. Then publish your reports and analysis in pdf documents to speed up your IPEDS reporting.
visualize health and safety incidents
Identify hotspots and trends so you can deploy your resources more efficiently. Map incidents and use time data analysis to find important trends.
do more with less
The Institutional Research Department at Jacksonville State University supports a university of 10,000 with a staff of four. Dr. Alicia Simmons, head of that department, says, "Tableau has helped us be able to provide support to many different departments and increase the productivity of this department. There are no funds to hire anybody new, so you have to do your work better."
from institutional research to the whole campus
One of the major challenges any University faces is getting data to the people who need it. Tableau lets you share your analyses so that you can collaborate with colleagues across campus. Universities are all about getting smarter, and so is Tableau. Do some research on your own-- download the free trial today.
