Assessment & Research 

A central hub for assessing undergraduate student experiences and outcomes 

Assessment & Research (A&R) connects people and data to inform strategic decision-making at the University of Arizona.  

A&R curates the campus-wide undergraduate survey calendar. We conduct surveys, coordinate projects, offer professional training, and analyze data to improve student success.  

The monthly Student Data Network cultivates strategic partnerships between data stewards across campus to improve institutional student data access, analysis, and use.

Along with coordinating large surveys efforts like the Student Services Fee Survey, A&R collaborates with campus partners to assess the impact of basic needs services on campus, student success programs, sense of belonging campaigns and more.
