Braden J. Hosch (born 1971) is an American scholar and higher education administrator. In September 2022, he was appointed to serve as the inaugural Vice President for Educational and Institutional Effectiveness at Stony Brook University, one of New York State's two public flagship universities.

Hosch is credited with calling attention to inconsistencies in how college costs are calculated and exposing problems with standardized testing in higher education.

Education and Career
Hosch earned a B.A. degree from Swarthmore College (1992), a M.A. degree from the University of Texas at Dallas (1994), and M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (1995 and 2003).

In 2011, Hosch was one of 21 administrators who received undisclosed raises from the Connecticut Board of Regents for Higher Education, which in part led to the resignation of Board President Robert A. Kennedy. Through an independent external review, Hosch was one of three individuals whose raise was determined to be justified.

Hosch subsequently moved to Stony Brook University in 2013 where he built an analytics powerhouse, contributing significantly to the University's unparalleled improvement in graduation rates.
