Student Outcomes

As part of the "culture of evidence" both students and faculty need to understand the process of education at UCLA.  AIM provides information to support the evaluation of student access, experience and outcomes, primarily for undergraduate students.  (The Graduate Division provides similar information about graduate students.) AIM maintains a longitudinal database that it uses to analyze undergraduate retention, graduation rates, and time to degree.  These outcomes can be studied in relation to data gathered from the student record system and surveys.   Thus research about admissions criteria and future student success may be routed to the Senate's CUARS committee.  In another instance, information about differences in research interest on the part of students who enter as freshmen and those who enter as transfer students may be routed to a committee looking at undergraduate research opportunities.  AIM collaborates with several other institutional research units at UCLA on survey research and information sharing.  These units include Student Affairs Information and Research Office (SAIRO), the Undergraduate Evaluation and Research unit in the College of Letters and Science, and smaller units in the Law School, Student Housing, Student Health Services, Health Sciences, and University Relations. Readers searching for information about students may find relevant information in the following:
