MissioN
The overarching charge of the Office of Institutional Effectiveness
at USCA is to provide internal and external constituencies with an accurate
and complete understanding of how the institution is advancing its mission
to “challenge students to acquire and develop the skills, knowledge and
values necessary for success in a dynamic global environment.
To meet this challenge, the IE Office uses a multifaceted and dynamic approach
that integrates the collection and analysis of institutional data with the
coordination of the assessment of student learning outcomes from academic
units, general education, and co-curricular programs in an ongoing effort
to improve programs and services throughout the university. The IE Office
disseminates assessment results and institutional data to support institutional
planning and decision-making as well as advancing quality and innovation
in the teaching and learning process, co-curricular programs, and other
administrative units.
