The Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness coordinates and facilitates Palm Beach State College's engagement in a process of ongoing, integrated and institution-wide planning and evaluation that incorporates a systematic review of all program learning and administrative outcomes, general education learning outcomes and other indirect and institutional measures that contribute to our overall understanding of student learning.  This process is conducted on an annual cycle and aligns with the SACS-COC requirement (CS 3.3.1) to identify expected outcomes, assess the extent to which students achieve these outcomes, and to provide evidence that the findings from these assessments are utilized to make improvements designed to enhance student learning.
