Strategic Plan

DEVELOP STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS

Although, historically, many colleges and universities, especially small, private institutions, have chosen to go it alone when facing periods of challenge, modern times demand a shift in strategy. While the volatility of the higher education environment has rendered many institutions vulnerable, Mount Union is committed to transcending the barriers as we pave the way for student success. A partnership evolution may be the catalyst for not only surviving but thriving in the higher education arena.
