EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

PEER INSTITUTION ANALYSIS

In November 2003 the Commissioner of Higher Education requested that the University, College and Community College each select 10 peer institutions. The Commissioner further stipulated that seven of the institutions must be similar to URI and three institutions are ones that we aspire to be like.

A large data set was assembled with several key variables and a series of formal statistical analyses were done to determine which institutions were similar to the University. The following link will lead you to data about those institutions, which will be used to make future comparisons to URI.
