Institutional Effectiveness

As part of the university’s commitment to continuous improvement, W&M’s faculty establish student learning expectations and the administration and staff identify institution-, organization-, and unit-level goals that align with the university’s mission and with Vision 2026, the current strategic plan. Ongoing cycles of evaluating the extent to which these expectations and goals are achieved and seeking improvement based upon analysis of the results drives progress and innovation, enhances educational quality, and empowers the university community to flourish through evidence-based planning and decision making.

The Office of Institutional Accreditation & Effectiveness oversees assessment of general education and academic programs, as well as evaluations of administrative units and academic and student support service units.
