The University of Alabama values and supports a robust process of institutional effectiveness as a tool to enhance innovation, student learning, service, and stewardship.

Institutional effectiveness is defined as a set of ongoing, systemic, and intentional processes designed to improve and assure the quality of the University at all levels through:

  • strategic planning and goal setting,
  • identification of outcomes, measurements, and expectations, and
  • evaluation, analysis, and use of data to inform decision-making.

The Office of Institutional Effectiveness guides continuous improvement processes for academic and non-academic units across campus on program approval and review, accreditation issues and all assessment activities.
