Academic Master Planning

Putting Planning into Collaborative Action

What is Academic Master Planning?

• A framework for decision-making within a learning community
• A vehicle for others to design plans (i.e. Technology; Facilities; Enrollment Management; Marketing)
• A framework for resource allocation
• A future vision mapped out with goals and objectives

To take it a little further, an Academic Master Plan also:

• Provides an action plan that faculty and staff not only buy into, but believe in
• Keeps the College in sync with trends within the labor market
• Serves as a vehicle for program growth in order to provide the best teaching and learning experience for both teachers and students
• Provides for better faculty staff and development
• Pulls the campus together and boosts morale
• Provides a transparent vision for the entire campus to become part of
• Puts perspective on planning that the entire campus community will believe in
