Institutional Effectiveness

 

What is Institutional Effectiveness (IE)?

 

Institutional Effectiveness (IE) refers to how well an institution is achieving its mission and goals. An effective institution is characterized by a clearly defined mission that articulates who it serves, what it aspires to be, and what it values (Middaugh, 2010). An effective institution has clear goals that are broadly communicated to its stakeholders, and decisions are evidence-informed and mission focused.
 

Institutional Effectiveness Framework

 

At Hostos, we look at Institutional Effectiveness using a framework that incorporates two overlapping areas of planning and assessment:  

  • Organizational Effectiveness – Hostos Community College’s ability to assess the extent to which it fulfills its Mission and Goals through sound management, and strong organizational processes.
  • Academic Effectiveness – Hostos Community College’s ability to assess the extent to which it supports student achievement of learning outcomes.
