RESEARCH

The research component of the Office of Institutional Research, Planning, and Effectiveness (OIRPE) involves preparing analyses, surveys, and reports for the University and for federal, state, and other external agencies.   Annually, the OIRPE derives information from various reports and publishes a Fact Book of information about Troy State University.  

PLANNING

The planning component requires that the IRPE coordinate all planning activities (annual and strategic), provide data to assist in planning for the University, provide guidelines for planning, and maintain copies of the planning documents.   The ORPE has developed a method of planning that uses the Annual Institutional Effectiveness Cycle.   The cycle includes the Six Points of Institutional Effectiveness (SPIE) that establish parameters for the Annual Assessment Reports (AAR)   that provides information and PFI for the Annual Plans (AP) that is funded by the Annual Budget and evaluated by the Statement of Achievements (SOA) after implementation of the plan. The cycle is applied to all areas of the University (Academic and Non-Academic).   To further aid in planning, the Vice President of OIRPE serves as liaison with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) Commission on Colleges (COC) and the Alabama Commission on Higher Education (ACHE).

EFFECTIVENESS

The effectiveness component of the IRPE involves coordinating program assessments including Major Field Tests (MFT) and the General Education Competency Examination (GECE--the Academic Profile) and surveying students (graduating, undergraduate, and graduate), employers, and alumni.     All students who were juniors fall 1998 and thereafter are required to take the GECE which is offered at least five times each term, and the OIRPE coordinates all aspects of this testing program.   To provide effectiveness results to improve programs and services of the University, the OIRPE annually publishes the Compendium of Survey and Test Results that provides University-wide results from   surveys, the GECE, and the ACT to all faculty, staff, and administrators.  

In addition to University-wide surveying and testing, OIRPE is responsible for the Institutional Effectiveness Committee (IEC).   Review of all revised or new programs including substantive change proposals to SACS must first be reviewed by the IEC before going to the Academic Council or Graduate Council.
