Peer Comparison Information

Urban public universities, such as IUPUI, often serve a wide range of students. From under-prepared first-year undergraduates to doctoral candidates, their students are likely to be what are called nontraditional or new majority students. As a result the students at urban universities often have different patterns of behavior and different purposes in attending the university from traditional students. A societal call for increased accountability in higher education has led institutions to find ways in which to distinguish and articulate their particular benefits and accomplishments. However, the lack of a clear public understanding of the urban public institutional type further complicates the efforts of these universities. IUPUI has selected an official set of twelve peer institutions to use for comparative purposes and various appropriate benchmarking efforts:
