Vital Signs
Vital Signs is an internal publication for faculty and staff. Each edition of our fact book serves as a reference for key indicators in admissions, enrollment, retention rates, graduation rates, degrees awarded and post-graduation outcomes, finance, financial aid, human resources, and advancement. Current and prior editions of Vital Signs are available on the Provost’s page on InsideWheaton (login required). Note: You must be a faculty or staff member to access these documents.
Common Data Set
The Wheaton College Office of Institutional Research completes the common data set each fall for external reporting. The Common Data Set (CDS) initiative is a collaborative effort among data providers in the higher education community and publishers as represented by the College Board, Peterson’s, and U.S. News & World Report. The combined goal of this collaboration is to improve the quality and accuracy of information provided to all involved in a student’s transition into higher education, as well as to reduce the reporting burden on data providers.
