Outcomes & Assessment
Outcomes & Assessment
The Institutional Advancement office manages and supports ongoing Outcomes & Assessment for the continuous improvement of CCCC’s programs and services. Each year the college conducts a formal planning and review process for its educational and service areas. According to an established timeline, planners assess, analyze, and report progress annually and then complete a more comprehensive reflection and review at the end of each three-year planning cycle.
