Surveys of Penn Community

Institutional Research & Analysis (IR&A) coordinates and conducts several institutional surveys on behalf of the Offices of the President and Provost. Our goal is to support the University's mission and purpose through the administration and analysis of surveys that inform strategic decision-making and enhance Penn's academic and social environment.

We survey all members of our community, from incoming undergraduate students to alumni, faculty, and staff. Our surveys touch on a wider range of topics and IR&A collaborates closely with university stakeholders to develop surveys that are relevent, reliable, and actionable. To learn more about how IR&A coordinates and conducts institutional surveys, see our IR&A Survey Research Plan (PDF).

Our approach to survey research ensures the confidentiality and integrity of respondent data. We encourage all members of the Penn community to participate in our surveys. Your input is invaluable in helping us build a better university for everyone.

If you have any questions about our surveys, please contact our office at iramail@pobox.upenn.edu.
