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 some listings of peer institutions
for the
University of
Central Oklahoma.
The peer group comparisons reports below are based on
IPEDS data for a
given point in time. Please see the Factbook and
Demographics books for
UCO trends.

The Office of
Institutional Research maintains a list of peer institutions in
conjunction 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. The links
to the peers will
