Office of Planning and Assessment

Welcome to the Office of Planning and Assessment, where we believe that strategic institutional planning is an essential component of greater institutional efficiency and effectiveness. We are comprised of two sub-offices: the Office of Institutional Research and the Office of Assessment.

The regional and national accrediting commissions that accredit the University and require evidence of ongoing comprehensive strategic planning include: The Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education, the Maryland State Department of Education, the National League for Nursing, the Maryland State Board of Nursing Examiners, the National Council on Social Work Education, and the Council on Rehabilitation Education.

Our Mission

The Office of Planning and Assessment aims to foster growth in institutional efficiency and effectiveness through continued support for and collaboration with the campus community, including faculty, staff, and students alike.  By developing strategic plans based on our data and assessment research, we aim to guide Coppin’s evolution into a University of Choice.
