A Vision For The Future

Planning is essential to the success of any enterprise, but especially so for a university that serves one of the fastest growing metropolitan economies and population centers in the country. Thus, during the time period covered in this report, Boise State revised its six-year-old strategic plan and prepared a thorough self-study in preparation for a reaccreditation visit by the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges.

In both of these efforts, the university took an in-depth look at its strengths, challenges and opportunities for the future. The result was two documents � the Institutional Self Study, produced for the October 1999 accreditation visit and Meeting the Challenge: A Strategic Plan for Boise State University 2000-2005, released in September 2000.
