Office of Institutional Effectiveness
The Office of Institutional Effectiveness (OIE) is housed within the Division of Academic Affairs, and is composed of the Office of Institutional Assessment (IA) and the Office of Institutional Research (IR).
The concept of OIE emerged as an action item from the 2012 strategic planning initiative. The primary purpose in establishing an office of Institutional Effectiveness was the recognition of the critical role of data in making strategic and operational decisions. To this end, OIE was created and charged with the collection, analysis, and reporting of institutional data. In addition, OIE coordinates the ongoing strategic planning process, accreditation (including special accreditation of programs), reports and/or data for the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education and the Regional University System of Oklahoma, Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association, and a host of statewide and federal agencies. Institutional Effectiveness also oversees program assessment and continuous improvement of academic programs through required self-studies and external reviews.
The Office of Institutional Effectiveness, the Office of Institutional Assessment, and the Office of Institutional Research are located on the second floor of the Lillard Administration building.
