Graduate College Strategic Plan
Organized in an easy-to-use and informative manner, the Strategic Plan for the University of Delaware Graduate College establishes key priorities and goals that will help guide the Graduate College’s mission over the next five years (academic year 2021 through academic year 2026).
ELEMENTS OF SUCCESS
Focused on six primary categories of graduate education operations—Operational Excellence, Graduate Community, Innovation in Graduate Education, Professional Development, Recruitment and Retention, and Graduate and Postdoctoral Research, Scholarship and Creative Expression—the strategic plan includes objectives and action items for each category and lists metrics to aid in assessing the Graduate College’s progress in meeting its objectives.
While the strategic plan reflects the intentions of the Graduate College and other University stakeholders, it will be revisited semiannually to reassess priorities, assess progress and incorporate revisions.
