IRPA Mission Statement

Our mission is to support evidence-based planning and decision-making at California State University Bakersfield (CSUB) through a comprehensive and integrated program of research, planning, and assessment.

We are also charged with reporting official student and academic information to the California State University Chancellor’s Office and other outside organizations.

We accomplish these goals by collaborating with areas across the campus, by providing data, analyses, information, and support for the following:

• planning,
• evaluation and assessment,
• mandated reporting,
• policy development,
• accreditation efforts,
• program reviews, and
• other reporting needs.
