Adler Graduate School strives to make our outcome data accessible and transparent. Program data allows us to critically analyze information about our activities, characteristics, and outcomes to improve its effectiveness, and/or to inform programming decisions for the purpose of improving student learning and development. Our student outcomes are a collection of performance indicators and/or statements that clearly state the expected knowledge, skills, attitudes, and competencies that students are expected to acquire at an institution of higher education. We collect and analyze data in three core areas that informs institutional decision-making, improvement planning, problem identification, curriculum planning, goal setting, faculty development, course revision, program review, and accountability.
