The Mission
The Office of Institutional Effectiveness Planning and Research (OIEPR) facilitates the University's institutional effectiveness process through coordination of the University's planning, assessment and budgeting activities. The Institutional Research component of OIEPR assists with collection, analysis and reporting of institutional data in support of assessment of goals for educational programs, administrative, and educational support services.
Goals
All components of the University (educational programs, administrative and educational support units) will understand and utilize the continuous improvement cycle as their model for planning and assessment. These units will also have a working knowledge of the institutional effectiveness process at the University, and an understanding of how their CIC contributes to this process.
All units of the University will be involved with the OIEPR in developing, administering and evaluating assessment tools to better measure program and service effectiveness.
The OIEPR will provide all units of the University with accurate and relevant institutional data and reports in a timely manner.
The OIEPR will produce internal and external institutional statistical reports in a timely manner.
