UNCG Key Performance Indicators
The Office of the Provost has collaborated with UNCG Online and the Office of Institutional Research to create an easy-to-use dashboard called the UNC Greensboro KPI Tool. This tool shows Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of the University’s progress in multiple arenas, from enrollment, graduation rates, costs, research funding, faculty, and more, using interactive visuals. Comparisons with peer institutions and General Administration targets are available where possible. This tool will be updated each fall.
Reports can be filtered and downloaded. Useful footnotes under each visual help to elaborate on key terms.
We invite you to explore the tool at this link: UNC Greensboro KPI Tool.
