Peer Groups
Issues of public accountability, trends toward performance-based funding,
and increasing competition are forcing institutions to place heavy emphasis
on benchmarking, performance indicators, and strategic planning activities.
A primary foundation for these efforts is to establish a list of peer
institutions.
Depending on the elements examined, many different lists may exist, and
each list may experience modification as necessary. Elements used to
determine peers may be numbers, classifications, best-practice activities,
consortium memberships, and anything else that might evoke a common
bond or interest. Below are the most common listings of peer institutions
for the University of Central Oklahoma.
The Office of
Institutional Research maintains a list of peer institutions in
conjunctions with
Academic Affairs and other divisions. These peers were
chosen based on criteria such as enrollment, full-time
faculty,
student/faculty ratio, location, and overall fit. Below
are links to the peer
institutions identified for UCO. These links will take you
