The Office of Institutional Research (OIR) collects data from both internal and external sources, and then analyzes, distributes, and presents this information for use in planning, decision-making, and policy formulation at Texas A&M University-Kingsville. We respond to diverse requests for data from members of the University community, and assist personnel in other units with research and assessment methodology, evaluation, and analysis.

The Office has access to and is responsible for reporting from University databases (i.e., Banner Student and other databases when available.), and the Office provides consultation, computer programming, and analytical support for several other recurring projects such as IPEDS coordination, annual data summaries, retention and graduation rate studies, Legislative Budget Board performance measurements, alumni surveys, enrollment projections, and many other university internal and external modeling and benchmarking studies.
