Metrics & Annual Reports

Metrics

In order to measure the University’s progress on implementing the strategic plan, Educate Connect Elevate: Illinois State, a series of high-level metrics have been identified. The key indicators represent four main areas – Access and Affordability, Student Success, Faculty and Staff Outcomes, and Institutional Resources - and demonstrate measurement of the strategic directions, objectives, and actions throughout the plan.

Each category below contains a collection of metrics that are represented with base year data; additional data will be added throughout the duration of the University’s implementation of the strategic plan. Comparison to the other Illinois public universities are also included where feasible.

Information regarding how to use the dashboards, a glossary of terms, and an at a glance view are also available. Specific questions about these dashboards or metrics can be sent to StrategicPlan@IllinoisState.edu.
