The Institute of Government data science team also develops and consults on custom statistical and visualization services for Georgia institutions of higher education. By harnessing internal data sources (e.g., student and course data platforms and learning management systems) along with external data vendors and product, our data science team can answer questions ranging from admissions decisions to graduation. Here are some examples of custom applications we have developed:
Enrollment Tracker

Retention, Graduation, and Performance Outcomes Comparison Tool
These trackers and tools can provide customized views based on department, special
initiatives, and student demographics.
