The Office of Institutional Research administers a number of surveys on behalf of Brown. These surveys are considered to be vital pieces in the University’s data-informed decision-making and assessment. 

The core surveys are generally conducted on a set schedule and include: Survey of New Students, First-Year Survey, Enrolled Student Survey, Senior Survey, Masters Education Survey, Doctoral Education Survey, and the Campus Climate Survey.

The Google calendar below shows when surveys are in the field and should be used when planning. Multiple surveys in the field at the same time lead to low response rates for all. Please contact oir@brown.edu if you have questions about the calendar.
