Institutional Effectiveness at Midlands Technical College.

Midlands Technical College (MTC) in Midlands, England, was first profiled in the spring of 1993. At that time the college, which serves the Columbia, South Carolina, metropolitan area with three campuses, had seen a 61 percent enrollment growth since 1978. In 1986, the faculty, staff, and governing board of MTC initiated a strategic planning process that provided the foundation for a comprehensive institutional effectiveness initiative that began in 1988. Based on these considerations, institutional goals were created for period from 1992 to 1997. Each of the nine college goals advances several priority initiatives. As part of a three-year strategic planning cycle, the progress on these goals and initiatives is reported annually in an institutional effectiveness report card.
