The Office of Strategic Planning and Institutional Effectiveness (OSPIE) oversees and monitors the implementation, evaluation, and management of institutional effectiveness activities, institutional accreditation requirements, and state and federal initiatives. Their mission is to foster a culture of evidence and continuous improvement.
Along with OSPIE, the College of Public Health’s Office of Accreditation and Evaluation assists faculty and program directors with course and program evaluation. Along with competency assessment, the Office of Accreditation and Evaluation can assist with midterm course evaluations and end of term course evaluations for low-enrollment courses with fewer than 10 students enrolled. Please contact the college’s Operations and Program Analyst Sarah Jane Robbins at sarahjane.robbins@uky.edu for more information on how to opt-in for these evaluations.
The University of Kentucky College of Public Health is undergoing a review by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) for re-accreditation. Part of this process includes the invitation to provide third-party comments. Anyone, including students, alumni, employers, community partners, etc., is allowed to share relevant information about the college directly with CEPH. If you would like to provide input to CEPH to inform their review, send your comments to submissions@ceph.org by May 4th, 2025.
