Lincoln University, PA – The Office of Institutional Effectiveness, Research, and Planning (OIERP) has released the 2018-2019 Lincoln University Fact Book.  

The Lincoln University Fact Book contains current and historical data of the University. The fact book serves as a resource for frequently requested information such as student enrollment, degree completions, financial aid and tuition, among others.

In previous years, the University Fact Book was published as a PDF document viewable on the OIERP website. This year, OIERP released Lincoln’s latest Fact Book through a new online dashboard.

According to OIERP,  the Fact Book dashboard is more effective in relaying information for many reasons, including its ability to summarize information in a single screen. Users can also convert data from static tables into interactive graphics and manipulate data for specific information needs.

The new online dashboard is also easier for end-users. OIERP states that end-users can use filters to select specific groupings of data; explore the same data from different angles, and alter the visualization of data graphics which can be downloaded.

OIERP is responsible for ensuring data-driven decision making. The office oversees the functions of institutional research, accreditation, assessment and planning. They are credited with providing accurate, timely and reliable information about Lincoln University. More information can be found on their website.

Lincoln University, the nation’s first degree-granting Historically Black College and University (HBCU), educates and empowers students to lead their communities and change the world. Lincoln offers a rigorous liberal arts education to a diverse student body of approximately 2,200 men and women in more than 35 undergraduate and graduate programs.
