Institutional Planning and Research

The Office of Institutional Planning and Research (IPR) provides knowledge for strategic decision-making in support of the colleges’ coordinate mission and aspiration.  The role of IPR is three-fold:

1. Create and disseminate information and analysis to improve institutional decision-making and quality, focusing on the goals and objectives associated with Strategic Directions 2010.
2. Continuously scan the environment to identify key research issues in higher education and their implications for the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University.
3. Use research to demonstrate college performance (including the student experience, student outcomes, student expectations, market performance, and academic performance).  

The office reports to Jon McGee, Vice President for Enrollment, Planning and Public Affairs.  If you have questions, please call 320-363-5183.  The Office of Institutional Planning and Research is located on the ground floor of the Main Building, College of Saint Benedict, 37 South College Avenue, St. Joseph, Minn. 56374.
