The Office of Institutional Effectiveness (OIE) serves as a resource to provide information for the University's decision-making process through a variety of data-gathering tasks, research projects and analytic or assessment activities.

The OIE is committed to providing quality services to internally support University and departmental planning, while also coordinating and maintaining reporting requirements for external agencies and organizations. The OIE reports to the Office of the Provost.

As a source of accurate, relevant and accessible data about the National Intelligence University (NIU), the Office of Institutional Effectiveness has primary responsibility for representing the NIU in the following data areas: student enrollment, course and program assessments, human subjects research, development of the annual report, and strategic planning metrics.
