Institutional Assessment

Herkimer County Community College defines Institutional Effectiveness (IE) as continual self-improvement through evidence-based decision making. Fundamental to Institutional Effectiveness at HCCC is an organized, documented, and sustainable Institutional Assessment Plan that is used to guide assessment of student learning outcomes at the course, program, and institutional levels, as well as the goals of administration and service units. The results of these assessments are shared with the community to provide assurances that the administration, faculty, and staff of HCCC are concerned with the quality, effectiveness, and efficiency of the College.
