Mission, Goals, and Planning
The mission of 草霉视频原创 is to provide educational opportunities of the highest quality to all we serve. The mission and its six supporting goals were reviewed campus-wide in 2021. The six goals supporting the mission are utilized by each college department and academic program to set outcomes to support the college鈥檚 mission and goals. The Office of Planning and Research supports the data collection and measurement necessary to determine how well 草霉视频原创 is meeting campus-wide outcome objectives and goals. In addition, the Office of Planning and Research regularly measures department and office-specific mission statements with goals and outcomes.

- The College Strategic Plan of Operations (2024-2028)
The Evaluation Process
Program reviews are conducted each year by all departments, both instructional and non-instructional. For instructional departments, program reviews look closely at student learning outcomes and program outcomes. When departments find that they need to improve outcomes, they outline a plan for improvement, including budget requests. For non-instructional departments, program reviews look at a department鈥檚 role in the overall function of the institution and include program changes, challenges, successes, plans for improvement, and budget requests.
Every fourth year instructional and non-instructional departments complete an intensive program review. During this process, each department is thoroughly reviewed and discussed from the department level to the senior administration. The process is important because it requires each department to reflect on its current status as well as to consider its future direction.
