Strategic Plans

Strategic planning is reviewed on an annual basis by each academic department and school in order to identify programmatic needs and establish plans for faculty hires, budgets, curriculum, and space planning.

The Office of Academic Affairs coordinates this academic planning process with department chairs and school deans beginning in the fall semester and culminating in prioritized initiatives in the spring semester to be implemented the following academic year. The resulting goals, initiatives, and plans are developed with significant faculty input to reflect the academic mission of the College.

Faculty and staff should consult with the department chairs and school deans regarding strategic planning for their departments and programs. Go to Department Strategic Plans to view individual department and school annual strategic plans and new initiatives.

The College periodically undertakes strategic planning on an institution-wide basis, often in conjunction with its NEASC re-accreditation reviews. The most recently-adopted strategic plan covers the years 2001-2005 and can be viewed online. A new plan is being developed and is expected to be adopted in the fall of 2007.
