Welcome to CSUN by the Numbers, a data inventory created and maintained by the university's Office of Institutional Research!

The Inventory houses information about key characteristics of CSUN’s students, faculty members, and course sections. In an effort to provide both the most up-to-date figures available and the vital context a longitudinal perspective provides, we present Fall term data in five-year intervals, generally beginning in Fall 1993, alongside annual figures for all or part of the current five-year period.

The Inventory’s Web pages, which are annually updated during the late Fall, are divided into the seven major groupings shown on the left of the screen. At present, clicking on most brings up the designation “Under construction” to signify that the data in a given grouping are still being assembled.

Within each of the seven major groupings, data are subdivided by student, faculty, or section category (e.g., first time freshmen, current undergraduates, and tenured or tenure track faculty members) and, within each of these, by characteristic (e.g., gender, GPA, employment status, average section size). Where relevant, profiles by College, major, degree program, and/or department are presented.

To begin examining the data, click on the relevant grouping on the left and then continue clicking on appropriate links until the desired figures appear. Individual tables can be viewed online or printed directly from the Web. They can also be copied, wholly or in part, into an Excel file and freely manipulated there. A link to directions for printing or copying to Excel is shown on relevant pages near the bottom of the list that appears on the left side of the screen.

Although the data summarized here should be sufficiently varied to meet most needs, they will not meet everyone’s specifications. Requests for additional data or figures that are organized differently, should be addressed to: Javier Hidalgo. Special requests usually require two to four weeks to assemble.
