TCNJ ASPIRANT COMPARATIVE METRICS
FALL 2016 CENTER FOR INSTITUTIONAL EFFECTIVENESS
THE COLLEGE OF NEW JERSEY COMPARATIVE METRICS PROJECT
We are pleased to present the Fall 2016 College of New Jersey Aspirant Comparative Metrics Project which demonstrates
TCNJ’s commitment to excellence on several significant outcome variables. Data contained in this report were gathered from the
National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), the National Science Foundation, the Integrated Postsecondary Educational Data
System (IPEDS), and the New Jersey Institutional Profile Report (NJIPR). The Center for Institutional Effectiveness (CIE) is hopeful that this data will be useful to students, parents, faculty, administrators, staff, policymakers, and all other internal and external stakeholders. At TCNJ, we are committed to ongoing and continuous improvement, and we will use this data to forge a bolder, better, and brighter future.
