Office of Institutional Effectiveness & Strategic Planning

The primary purpose of the Office of Institutional Effectiveness and Strategic Planning is to conduct a comprehensive program of data collecting, analysis and reporting and university-wide assessment to support strategic planning and institutional effectiveness. These processes enhance the University’s mission of providing quality academic and non-academic programs, services and activities for its students.
