Institutional Assessment

Institutional assessment is an ongoing process of collecting information, reviewing findings, and synthesizing results into tangible improvements in programs and services. A consistent program assessment process allows institutions to aggregate data broadly and make informed decisions at the organizational level.

Stony Brook University’s Institutional Learning Objectives (ILOs) are grounded in its five-part mission statement: 

• to provide comprehensive undergraduate, graduate, and professional education of the highest quality;

• to carry out research and intellectual endeavors of the highest international standards that advance knowledge and have immediate or long-range practical significance;

• to provide leadership for economic growth, technology, and culture for neighboring communities and the wider geographic region;

• to provide state-of-the-art innovative health care, while serving as a resource to a regional health care network and to the traditionally underserved;

• to fulfill these objectives while celebrating diversity and positioning the University in the global community.
