This profile reflects the institution's emphasis on STEM research and life sciences instruction.

Filings dropped sharply from 2019 (236 petitions) to 2020–2021 (7 and 3 filings), likely due to pandemic-related hiring freezes.

Overall certification remains high at 5.15% of filings, with negligible withdrawal and denial rates.
