We Provide Data to Support Our Students’ Success!

The Institutional Research team provides the College with data to make equity-based decisions.

Ensuring people Collegewide can access and understand critical information, we show the effects MCC has on our students and the community.

Our data comes from surveys, compliance reporting, and College dashboards. The goal is to provide transparency and clarity through enhanced data analysis that is designed to help us make data-informed decisions.

The goal of the results is to:

Promote equity
Reduce gaps and bias
Support MCC’s strategic plan

To learn more about our diverse population of students, review our data dashboards. Each dashboard summarizes institutional data and statistics about graduation rates, transfer rates and student diversity.

We catagorize the data by student characteristics such as gender, age and race:
