Home > About CEEP

The Center for Evaluation & Education Policy (CEEP) promotes and supports rigorous program evaluation and education policy research primarily, but not exclusively, for educational, human services, and nonprofit organizations. CEEP takes a dynamic approach to evaluation and education policy research, using both quantitative and qualitative methodologies, including experimental designs.

As part of the Indiana University School of Education, CEEP represents a history of nearly 40 years of leading-edge evaluation and research experience. Recently the Indiana Center for Evaluation and the Indiana Education Policy Center merged to form CEEP, combining both centers’ rich experience and outstanding reputations of excellence. CEEP prides itself in being a client-focused organization that delivers the highest quality results by utilizing the most cost-efficient strategies possible.
