Faculty Productivity — Peer institutions

USF College of Education · Academic Analytics · snapshot Aug 2026
Program Directory
University‑wide, not the College of Education. Academic Analytics' institution table has only whole‑university totals — there are no per‑college peer counts in this export. So this is "USF overall vs peer universities overall", helpful for context but not a COE benchmark. Counts are all‑time, not per year.
