Institutional Effectiveness and Accreditation

Institutional Effectiveness

Institutional effectiveness is an ongoing, cyclical process by which the institution, its divisions, its degree and certificate programs, and its units gather, analyse and use data to ascertain how well it is accomplishing its mission and goals and to make continuous improvements based on assessment results. Each department and unit within the institution identifies its goals and expected outcomes consistent with the mission of the College. Then assessment tools to measure and analyze the degree of its performance and levels of success in achieving its proscribed goals are developed, administered and analyzed. Ultimately, the purpose of assessment is to make improvements based upon the assessment data.
