The Institutional Research office coordinates and submits numerous external surveys and reports on behalf of all of Graceland University. Several of these are mandated by the U.S. Department of Education or other agencies; and some are for marketing purposes. Below is a list of the surveys submitted over the few last years. Many include a link to the company that requests the information and their reasons for doing so.

Data reported on most of these surveys reflect the most recent fall semester locked data unless otherwise requested.

If you have a survey you would like Graceland to participate in or would like to request institutional data, please send us the information using the Data Request Form.

For specific dates of when a survey was completed, contact Institutional Research.
