What is Institutional Research?
Institutional Research at Santa Fe College is the systematic, explicit, and documented process of measuring performance against mission in all aspects of an institution. Moreover, IR is about (1) planning to realize mission and goals, (2) assessing outcomes and objectives, and, (3) ultimately, demonstrating improvement. To meet certain state, federal, and SACSCOC (The Commission) requirements for accreditation, the College is obligated to demonstrate that it accomplishes its IR goals and objectives in a systematic, process-oriented way.
Santa Fe College's commitment to assessment, continuous improvement, and innovation is at the heart of our ongoing IR process. The College's IR is based on a continuous cycle which is participative, flexible, relevant, and responsive to the community we serve. The College's approach to IR includes all programs, services, and constituencies and is linked to decision-making at all levels and across all units.
