OFFICE OF INSTITUTIONAL EFFECTIVENESS
The purpose of the Office of Institutional Effectiveness (OIE) is to provide direction, guidance, oversight, and institutional information and data for the effectiveness of the institution’s academic and administrative departments. The OIE guides the development and monitors institutional planning and effectiveness efforts and uses outcomes data to assess the extent to which DMGS is making progress toward the attainment of the Graduate School’s mission, institutional goals and departmental objectives.
Strategic Planning
The Strategic Planning Taskforce develops the strategic plan to achieve the graduate school’s mission and forecast needs for institutional change in ways that DMGS implements needed improvements to its programs and functions.
Institutional Research
The primary purpose of institutional research is to promote institutional effectiveness by providing information for institutional planning, policy formation, and decision-making.
