Institutional Research and Outcomes Assessment

The Office of Institutional Research (OIR) provides the College with statistical information on enrollment, student characteristics, faculty and staff, and academic programs.  OIR also maintains a comprehensive survey research program through which it identifies trends, areas of growth and concern, and issues affecting the John Jay student experience.   In addition, OIR provides data and serves as a liaison to a variety of college constituencies and outside agencies. OIR works in close collaboration with the Office of Assessment and is available to assist with survey design and implementation, data collection for program evaluations, accreditation, and self-study.  

The Office of Outcomes Assessment coordinates a systematic process of institutional assessment for program improvement and institutional effectiveness.  The Office works with academic departments to create a coordinated framework of learning outcomes.  The Office also works collaboratively with the Office of Institutional Research to develop assessment tools and analyze data that supports strategic planning and institutional effectiveness.
