- Will continually improve the efficiency and effectiveness of information collection and distribution
What we do
Institutional Effectiveness (IE) works primarily to ensure that all areas of the university use sound assessment methods to evaluate the quality of their services, and that the data collected through annual assessment is helpful for decision making and improvement.
Institutional Research (IR) translates the volumes of data collected by A&M-Victoria and other public data sources (e.g., US Bureau of Labor, Census Bureau, National Student Clearinghouse, etc.) into reports that demonstrate A&M-Victoria's accountability to external regulators and assist A&M-Victoria employees in planning and assessment.
