University Data, Analytics, and Institutional Research

Mission: Create a workforce & organizational model, governance framework, data architecture, and data services that can deliver consistency, shared best practices, and consensus while promoting autonomy, agility, and innovation. 

Key tenants include:

  • The UM IR and UM DMI provide services for all four campuses as well as the system-level offices.  The scope of these services must, at a minimum, include any enterprise data sources and system-level data definitions in order to eliminate duplication of effort and cost.
  • The System offices align with the MU Analytics Services as enumerated above.  For each distributed domain area, the central MU Analytics provides analyst support and best practices. 
  • While each domain owns their business expertise, they will have varying technical and analytical skillsets.  The central offices can provide those services as needed.  Current state MU Analytics provides analytics services for Undergraduate and Enrollment and Registration Management.  Specific Academic Units are also in process of hiring resources on the MU Analytics team for dedicated support.
