Executive Peer Tool (ExPT) - Compare Institutions

The ExPT is a simplified version of the Peer Analysis System (PAS) that allows comparisons between a focus institution and comparison institutions. Data are available only from the latest data collection year, and results are simple and streamlined. Individuals that need access to more data should use the PAS.
