Strategic Plan

GROW ENROLLMENT STRATEGICALLY

Demographic declines, coupled with fierce competition and questions regarding the value of a college degree, continue to impact higher education. We must position ourselves for enrollment stability and planful growth in order to adapt and succeed. This challenging environment demands that we focus on strategic steps that enhance the undergraduate and graduate student experience, whether delivered on campus or online, and rally as a community to actively further our enrollment efforts.
