Institutional Effectiveness at NDMU is a process that results from University-wide efforts to collect, analyze, and use data for the planning, implementation, and assessment of strategic goals to reflect on its past and commit to its future.

The following areas play a significant role in our ability to effectively utilize data, improve decision-making, and ultimately enhance student learning outcomes across the University:

The Strategic Plan

Going Beyond: Vision 2025

The proposed plan seeks to advance transformational education, drive institutional growth, expand visibility, enhance a culture of innovation and enrich the School Sisters of 海角社区 charism.
