THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA STRATEGIC PLAN
 

The institutional goal of the University of Georgia is to provide the best possible education to its students; the best possible service to the citizens of the state of Georgia and beyond; and research, discovery and creative achievement of the highest order to benefit Georgia, the nation and the world.

Achieving the University of Georgia=s institutional goal requires the following elements:

  • Comprehensive strength in undergraduate educational programs.

  • Premier graduate and professional programs.

  • A faculty of national and international distinction.

  • Premier research and scholarship.

  • A culturally diverse and inclusive academic community.

  • Strong ties between the University and external constituencies.

  • A comprehensive learning community and a working environment of high quality.

  • A leading outreach program to extend knowledge and expertise to the people of the state and beyond.

The University of Georgia Strategic Plan comprises the set of strategic plans which delineate plans of primary organizational units and an institutional strategic plan. The institutional plan is used as the compass by which operational plans are developed. Operational plans include:

  • the academic plan, including research, outreach and public service, and student affairs;

  • the physical plan, including plans for capital outlay, renovation, and maintenance of the University=s physical plant;

  • the plan for external relations, which includes plans for a capital campaign;

  • an organizational and personnel plan, including plans for faculty and staff development;

  • the financial plan for the institution; and

  • an institutional communications and marketing plan, which will outline the ways in which all of these plans should be articulated to the public and key constituencies, both internal and external, of the institution.

In order to achieve its vision for the future, the University of Georgia is engaging three strategic directions to be carried out at the institutional, college, and unit levels:

  • Building the new learning environment.

  • Investing in its research endeavors.

  • Competing in a global economy.
