Welcome to SUNO's Center for Planning, Research, and Evaluation (PRE). The office of PRE reports directly to the Associate Vice-Chancellor for Academic Affairs & SACS Liaison Officer. This office is responsible for the planning, coordination, and administration of SUNO's academic program initiatives and for the improvement of undergraduate and graduate education.

Learning Outcomes Assessment:

The primary goal of the learning outcomes assessment is on-going improvement of the academic regimen which students adhere to during their undergraduate and graduate matriculation and maintain SUNO's standard of education quality. We are constantly exploring new statistical techniques to shed light on how SUNO will grow and have a better educational experience.

SUNO's Mission Statement:

The mission of Southern University at New Orleans is to create and maintain an environment conducive to learning and growth, to promote the upward mobility of all people by preparing them to enter into new as well as traditional careers, and to equip them to function optimally in the mainstream of the American society. The mission of the University was expanded in 1981 when it was authorized to award the Master of Social Work degree.

The University provides a sound education tailored to special needs of students coming to an open admissions institution and prepares students for full participation in a complex and changing society. The University offers a liberal education directed toward the achievement of higher literacy and a broad intellectual development, which in turn serves as a foundation for training in one of the professions. The SUNO ideal is thus a harmony of the general and special aspects of learning. It aims at both immediate and long-range rewards.
