TRACKING PROGRESS

Metrics can be seen as the bridge between the vision of the institution and the execution of the strategic plan. A set of indicators that helps us determine if we are headed in the right direction, at the right pace, and with the right resources.

  • Baseline measures will provide a minimum threshold for which the university assesses student achievement through the conclusion of Success by Design in 2025. With the exception of Undergraduate Enrollment, baseline values are determined by the average value of a three-year historical period, which corresponds with the launch of NKU's current strategic plan, Success by Design. The baseline for Undergraduate Enrollment has been calculated on a linear trend of the same time period due to a ten-year negative trend.
  • Target measures are viewed as aspirational goals, not projected outcomes. Many targets have been predetermined by the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education in the Statewide Strategic Agenda (Higher Education Matters, 2022).
