A comprehensive programmatic data analysis process to formulate goals, outcomes, action plans, and follow-up assessments is key to support accreditation needs and the institutional effectiveness of academic programs. The NU College of Law and Public Service strategically utilized a formal process to set up an environment of collaboration and curiosity to aid program directors in digging into 3 years of data. A combination of data from program/sequence information, enrollment and marketing, demographics, progression and persistence, attrition, graduation rates, curriculum, LMS engagement/course evaluations, student voice, program sustainability, and strengths/opportunities were utilized for this process. Several questions were formulated for each data source, and used for action plans/formal assessment of goals and outcomes.
