About University Data Analytics & IR - University Data, Analytics, and Institutional Research

University Data, Analytics and Institutional Research (UDAIR) brings together analytics expertise, institutional research, data governance, and data engineering to support the University of Missouri with trusted data and meaningful insights. Our work helps faculty, staff, analysts, and leaders make informed decisions with clarity and confidence.

We focus on creating a reliable and consistent data environment for all campus users by guiding MU’s transition to a single enterprise reporting platform and modernizing the university’s data ecosystem. UDAIR aspires to strengthen access, improve quality, and enhance the way data is used across the university.


UDAIR includes two core units that work closely together:

  • Institutional Research provides official reporting, compliance submissions, academic planning analyses, and data for institutional leadership.
  • Analytics builds reports, dashboards, and analytical solutions that translate data into clear, actionable information.

Together, these teams create a unified data foundation for the campus. Whether someone is exploring data for the first time or building advanced analytics, UDAIR serves as a partner in understanding, accessing, and using data effectively.
