Peer Institutions
As part of the process used to develop Next-Gen K-State, university leaders worked with a strategic planning advisory committee comprising students, faculty, staff, administrators, governance council leaders and alumni to establish a comparison set of peer institutions and specific criteria to allow for comparative analysis and benchmarking of institutional performance. Additionally, these same leaders established a set of aspirational institutions based on similar criteria to inform future growth and performance targets.
The analysis was informed by current national data from the U.S. Department of Education’s Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), National Science Foundation data on research expenditures and other publicly available institutional or aggregate datasets.
The following summary table outlines the university’s peer institutions and aspirational institutions, 11 in total, against which K-State will compare itself, monitor relative performance and utilize in establishing future targets.
