Progress To Date

UTSA's strategic plan aspires to achieve institutional transformation. Each year, UTSA collects, analyzes, disseminates, and acts upon many forms of data at the university, college, and unit levels. These data which include student enrollment data, graduation rates, research productivity, fundraising success, user satisfaction surveys, attendance data, and demographic information about faculty and staff, among other measures serve as valuable internal measures of our progress to guide campus leaders in both strategic and operational decision-making. Reporting trends reveal successes and inform the strategic allocation of resources through our Incentivized Resource Management (IRM) budget model.

The university regularly reports on these progress indicators in various contexts, including annual governance reports to the UT System, the Board of Regents, and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. Key performance indicators are drivers of institutional prestige: they influence international university rankings, contribute to our Carnegie Classification, and make UTSA an attractive choice for civic, governmental, educational, and philanthropic partnerships.

UTSA has set aspirational, ten-year targets for 17 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). As we approach the halfway point in the strategic plan (2022-23), here is what we have achieved to date:  
  

UTSA’s Office of Institutional Research oversees the collection and reporting of data, maintaining dashboards and producing reports regularly.
