PRIE Mission Statement
The Office of Planning, Research, and Institutional Effectiveness (PRIE) at the San
Diego College of Continuing Education (SDCCE) provides leadership and coordination
for institutional research, accreditation, and institution-wide integrated planning,
including program review, strategic planning and assessment. The office supports effective
planning and decision-making through facilitated data-sharing and professional development
for integrated planning, in collaboration with departments and programs. Through our
work, we strive to enhance student success and support SDCCE's achievement of its
mission and goals.
About PRIE
The Office of Planning, Research, and Institutional Effectiveness (PRIE) was established
in February of 2016 to conduct institutional research and provide leadership and support
for program review, strategic planning, and assessment across the institution. Facilitation
of accreditation planning and systems-based planning and outcomes tracking were added
in 2018. Support for institutional-level professional development was added in 2019.
PRIE research provides information to support data-informed decision-making across
the institution, including for enrollment management; assessment of student needs
and outcomes; assessment of diversity, equity and inclusion improvements for students;
governance effectiveness; accountability reporting; program review, planning and assessment;
categorical, grant and special program student outcomes; and community and labor market
information. PRIE typically supports upwards of 70 ad-hoc projects and research requests
from SDCCE programs, committees, and college leadership annually, as well as from
the California Community College Chancellor's Office (CCCCO) and regional partners
(e.g., SDAERC, SDICCCA, Regional Consortium for Workforce Development).
