Institutional Effectiveness
George Fox University has an ambitious mission, an inspiring vision and rock-solid values.
But how do we know how well we’re achieving these? What evidence can we show that we’re authentically living them out? Just how good a university is this?
That’s what institutional effectiveness is about.
Key Aspects of Institutional Effectiveness
Following are two criteria we use to access institutional effectiveness.
-
Accreditation, Licensure Programs & State Reciprocity
We meet the quality standards of respected external organizations.
-
Assessment
We measure student learning and departmental outcomes to ensure our curriculum aligns with our mission, fosters continuous improvement, and supports student success.
