Planning

The University’s commitment to institutional renewal is the driving force behind the annual planning and improvement process.  The cycle begins with assessment, continues with analysis and planning, followed by funding through the budget process.  Execution of strategies is an ongoing endeavor, which leads to another round of assessment.  The chart below explains the annual cycle in detail. 

In 2018, the University launched the five-year Strategic Plan for 2018-2023 that has five overarching strategic goals:



GOAL 1.  To ensure graduates possess the competencies for successful careers, advanced education, and lifelong learning



GOAL 2.  To shape institutional enrollment by attracting, enrolling, and retaining students with the potential to succeed academically, graduate, and advance professionally



GOAL 3.  To formally cultivate and institutionalize a responsive culture and structure to more effectively serve students, faculty, and staff



GOAL 4.  To validate program quality and learning outcomes through rigorous self-assessment and enhanced external institutional and programmatic recognition 



GOAL 5.  To allocate resources effectively and efficiently in support of the Strategic Plan and institutional priorities



The strategic plan is supported by the following six sub-plans that outline supporting objectives, baselines, and metrics:

• Academic Plan

• Financial Plan

• Facilities Master Plan

• Institutional Effectiveness Plan

• Strategic Enrollment Management Plan

• Technology Plan
