UMBC’s Self-Study
The construction of UMBC’s Self-Study will be an inclusive process and will include input from a broad range of campus stakeholders. It will also serve as a benchmark upon which to build an enhanced, formalized, periodic, and proactive institutional effectiveness process, with special emphasis on student success.
Our Self-Study will provide us with the opportunity to construct benchmarks in preparation for the implementation of a new strategic plan, help us plan to establish infrastructure to ensure its successful implementation, and measure our progress towards meeting our goals.
