Institutional Research and Assessment

Institutional Effectiveness refers to the process of articulating, aligning and assessing outcomes at the academic, student support and administrative levels in support of our College’s mission and over-arching institutional goals. Information gleaned from assessments drive improvement plans and decision making. Assessment is the vehicle used to measure how well we are meeting our goals and outcomes.

Institutional Effectiveness is a shared practice throughout the College where several offices play integral roles. Concordia's Office of Institutional Research and Assessment is involved in building and sustaining institutional effectiveness through a systematized planning and assessment process for both academic and administrative units of the College. The Office of Institutional Research and Assessment works closely with the Academic Office, the Registrar’s Office, Admissions, Human Resources and Student Experience. These offices, along with others, provide important information used to help sustain institutional effectiveness initiatives.
