The College of Charleston, building on its strong foundation as a public liberal arts and sciences university, is in the process of designing a strategic plan to create a world class institution. To determine the path forward, we are re-examining our core values and purpose to set priorities for future development. A campus-wide Strategic Planning Committee is leading the way. Five subcommittees are providing the groundwork by researching and analyzing both internal and external factors that affect the College in today's environment. The finished plan will define the College’s priorities and lay the foundation for a successful capital campaign that will take us to new heights in educational excellence.

Strategic Planning Updates

During the spring semester, the six subcommittees are working diligently in their respective areas. The preliminary subcommittee reports are due to the steering committee on May 15, 2008. This summer the Strategic Planning Committee will develop a draft of the umbrella plan based on the subcommittee reports and the feedback they received from the College community through interviews, focus groups and SWOT analyses.
