At Lincoln University, the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment (OIRA) provides access to a wide range of interactive dashboards through the Interactive Data Portal. This resource is designed to support data-informed decision-making by offering user-friendly visualizations of key university metrics, including enrollment trends, student outcomes, academic performance, employee demographics and more.
Whether you're exploring current facts or historical patterns, these dashboards offer valuable insights for faculty, staff, students and other stakeholders. For the best experience, we recommend using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
This mark signifies that Lincoln University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) and is a member of the North Central Association (NCA). HLC's most recent comprehensive evaluation of the University was completed in 2013. Clicking the image will direct you to more specific information about the University's accreditation status on the HLC website.
Because institutions necessarily evolve over time, HLC regularly collects information from each to ensure they are still operating in a manner that warrants accreditation. At Lincoln University, an annual Institutional Data Update is completed by the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment and the Office of the Provost.
Further questions regarding the University's relationship with the HLC should be directed to the Office of the Provost (provost@lincolnu.edu).
