In an effort to reduce survey fatigue the Office of Institutional Research & Effectiveness (OIRE) works with other units on campus to plan, organize, and monitor surveys involving the UIS students, faculty, staff, and alumni populations. Individuals interested in administering a survey to a significant portion of the UIS community (≥10% of the target population) are asked to complete the UIS Campus Survey Administration Request form.

The Office of Institutional Research & Effectiveness partners with the UIS community on strategic initiatives and projects.

Meet Our Staff

The Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness (OIRE) is dedicated to advancing UIS' goals and strategic priorities through comprehensive institutional research, assessment, and effectiveness activities.  We promote a data-informed culture of collaboration and continuous improvement within OIRE and across the institution. 

The foundations of good assessment work are well-written learning outcomes statements and usable curriculum maps. This page provides tips and resources for creating both.

Learning Outcomes Statements

Learning outcomes statements are concise, action verb-oriented statements that describe what a learner will know or be able to do after completing an assignment, course, or program.

In 2023, UIS was awarded a $2.25 million Strengthening Institutions Program (SIP) Grant from the US Department of Education that will allow the university to focus on improving and expanding high-impact educational practices.
