Planning and Decision Support Overview

Planning and Decision Support (PDS) provides systematic and meaningful information and analysis to support evidence-driven planning, policy formation, decision making, and assessment at HSC. PDS provides data leadership support for assessment, accreditation, and data-focused decision-support activities.

Through a collaborative process, PDS leads and directs the design, prioritization, and implementation of activities to promote effectiveness through four primary areas:  federal, state, and institutional reports; data collection, analysis, and interpretation; institutional surveys; and strategic project support.  PDS team members serve as the IPEDS Keyholder, THECB institutional reporting official, and the Qualtrics Brand Administrator.
