College of Micronesia – FSM Mission Fulfillment Indicators
Mission Statement: The College of Micronesia-FSM is a learner-centered institution of higher education that is committed to the success of the Federated States of Micronesia by providing academic, career and technical educational programs characterized by continuous improvement and best practices.
Accreditation Standard I.A.2. The institution uses data to determine how effectively it is accomplishing its mission, and whether the mission directs institutional priorities in meeting the educational needs of students.
Mission fulfillment is determined by the college meeting a minimum threshold. Achievement of each individual indicator is measured relative to a range based on a corresponding threshold level and represented by achievement status.
- Green is achieved;
- Yellow is minimally achieved; and
- Red is not achieved.
COM-FSM is considered to be fulfilling its mission provided no more than seven (29%) of the 24 total indicators are at the red level so that the college attains at least 17 (71%) of its indicators within the achieved (green) or minimally achieved (yellow) range.
The latest data show that according to the above definition, the college is attaining its mission with 17 of the mission fulfillment indicators achieved (71%). Four indicators are minimally achieved and three not met. Areas requiring renewed focus are student faculty interaction, graduation employment rates, transfer rates, persistence rates and percentage of Institution-wide credit grades completed.
