Strategic Plan

With many of the initiatives from the original 1994 Strategic Plan now accomplished, the university spent the 1999-2000 academic year revising the plan. The new document, Meeting the Challenge: A Strategic Plan for Boise State University 2000-2005, was released in September 2000 and will serve as a blueprint for Boise State�s immediate future.

As with the previous plan, the revised document is focused on four key strategic initiatives:

  • Managing growth while preserving and enhancing access.
  • Enhancing academic quality and reputation.
  • Improving management and administrative functions.
  • Developing the university�s human resources.

    Those initiatives will be achieved through the accomplishment of 150 goals listed in the plan. Among the major goals are:

  • Continue to implement the �distributed campus� strategy by using a variety of technologies to deliver classes to several locations at varied times.
  • Construct or expand facilities to accommodate growth.
  • Manage enrollment growth at approximately 2 percent per year.
  • Integrate technology into academic instruction, research, student services and business operations.
  • Emphasize teaching and learning with special focus on applied learning in real- world settings.
  • Enhance the general education (core curriculum) experience, with special focus on improved student success.
  • Add new academic and professional-technical programs in accord with public demand and available resources.
  • Increase support for graduate education and research.
  • Increase fund-raising efforts to support scholarships, capital facilities and academic enrichment programs.
  • Increase support for graduate education and research.
  • Improve communications within the campus community and with external constituents.
  • Enhance management and administrative functions.
  • Enhance the quality of the �Boise State experience� by recruiting and retaining excellent faculty and staff and by promoting increased cultural diversity and an increased sense of community.
