INSTITUTIONAL RESEARCH
The Office of Institutional Research conducts research and analyses to support
administrative
decision-making and develops management information systems to provide information necessary
for
assessment of education and noneducation programs at Sam Houston State University. Also, this
office
maintains a library of reference materials on planning and institutional research, designs research
methodology
to achieve specific goals, coordinates university-wide institutional research activities for strategic
and tactical
plans.
Reconciling the potential conflict between traditional collegiate values and accountability
methods, the
Office of Institutional Research monitors institutional effectiveness activities, determines
appropriate types of
assessment, and helps ensure that assessment results are used in program improvement.
