Institutional Research
Welcome to Centralia College's Institutional Research page! Here you will find all sorts of useful data dashboards and reports. All the data below was created either by the CCIR department or by the State Board of Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC).
As a mission-focused institution, Centralia College monitors annual progress toward the fulfillment of our mission. In order to do this, we establish specific outcomes, objectives and data indicators in order to track trend lines over time and accomplishment of specific benchmarks. This data is compiled in an annual monitoring report that is presented to the Board of Trustees and the campus community each spring. The results of this report are used to plan for the coming year.
