At the Strategic Planning Forum we distributed a year-end review handout that included a model and explanation of Continuous Quality Improvement. The model and explanation are now available online.

Continuous Quality Improvement describes what we've been doing at UNO for quite some time, using data to uncover ways to improve our programs, services, and processes.

We know data-driven decision making is happening all of the time at UNO, but it has not always been easy to document. And, as most of you know, accrediting bodies emphasize capacity to demonstrate regular use of data in decision making and program improvement.

Student Support

Since 2005, the UNO Writing Center has advanced two of UNO’s key strategic goals, supporting students and promoting academic excellence. The Writing Center helps students with a wide range of writing projects and helps faculty integrate effective writing assignments into their courses. In the Fall of 2015, the Center had a staff of twenty-two, including a director, associate director, graduate assistants from the English Department, student workers, graduate consultants,interns, and a volunteer. Without additional funding, meeting demand as the UNO student body grows will be increasingly difficult, if not impossible.

Continuous Quality Improvement At Uno, University Communications

Decision Support/CQI

Continuous Quality Improvement is a simple phrase that describes what we’ve been doing at the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) for quite some time, using data to uncover ways to improve our programs, services, and processes. This term is used in business, higher education, health care, and many other industries. At UNO, it describes the ongoing improvement process we’re using to achieve and maximize our three over-arching goals – being student centered, academically excellent, and engaged with the community.

"Model of Continuous Quality Improvement"

An Empirical Study Of Outcomes And Quality Indicators Between Accredited And Non-Accredited Clinical Mental Health Counseling Programs, William Murphy

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

Quality assurance of academic programs that lead to licensure or certification in a profession traditionally has been through the industry-recognized accreditation body. There have been a limited number of studies on whether accreditation is associated with better program quality and outcomes; the purpose of this study was to add to that body of literature by comparing accredited and non-accredited programs. The quality dimensions associated with the study are standards-related program inputs such as admissions criteria, faculty resources and qualifications, and outcomes, as reflected by clinical examination results and program completion rates.

The University of Nebraska and the state have a successful history of partnering to address deferred maintenance needs across the campuses. Through two pieces of legislations - LB1100, passed in 1998, and LB605, passed in 2006 - the state has invested funds, combined with university funds, to keep NU buildings updated, safe and functional. LB1100 resulted in $79 million worth of renovations, while LB605 has allowed for $163 million in projects.
