The Office of Institutional Effectiveness (OIE) promotes continuous improvement and strategic decision-making across Syracuse University. Rooted in a commitment to student success and operational excellence, OIE brings together three key functions—Assessment and Accreditation, Institutional Research, and Strategic Analytics—using a responsive, innovative, and mission-aligned approach. We provide high-quality information and consultation to support faculty, staff, and leadership in turning insights into action.
