Self-Study Goals
The NCA Self-Study will:
- Reflect the university’s mission and planning process and provide a clear direction for the future of the university (for example, Strategic Planning, Technology Master Plan, Facilities Master Plan).
- Improve the collection, analysis, and use of data in university decision-making.
- Make assessment part of the university culture.
- Support efforts to revise and improve the General Education Program.
- Engage the university in substantive discussion about the process and results of the self-study.
- Define and articulate the ways in which the university
is a leading institution in the Midwest.
