Assessment and Institutional Research

Mission

What are we setting out to do as an office? What is our purpose?

The Office of Assessment and Institutional Research serves Scripps College’s data needs by compiling, collecting, and reporting accurate data both for internal stakeholders and external reporting bodies. We collaborate with other Scripps offices and across the Claremont Colleges as appropriate to facilitate timely and transparent data reporting. We work too with other Scripps offices to provide assessment and evaluation data for courses, student learning outcomes, and program effectiveness. We provide guidance to colleagues around all aspects of assessment cycles, including data analysis and interpretation, helping colleagues to pull insights and to gain value from findings.

At the heart of our work is integrity and best practices around protection of the data of our stakeholders, including data privacy and confidentiality, especially for Scripps students.  Through our mission we connect both to the mission and strategic plan of Scripps College and to the vision of the office itself.
