Planning at the University of Scranton is guided by two critical documents:
The University of Scranton
Strategic Plan 2005-2010
Pride, Passion, Promise:
Shaping our Jesuit Tradition
In fall 2005, the University unveiled its strategic plan
for 2005-2010. As described by the University's Planning & Institutional
Effectiveness Model, the plan will seek to fulfill the mission, vision, and
goals of the institution through a series of themes and strategies.

The Process
During the 2003-2004 academic year, the University
Planning Committee, with the support of the Planning, Assessment, &
Institutional Research office, engaged in formal, detailed issue analysis
through review of internal reports and information along with rigorous
environmental scanning. To view these scans and other reports,

In November of 2004, members of the University community
engaged in a situation analysis of internal strengths and weaknesses and
external opportunities and threats. The results of these activities informed
the process of discerning themes and strategies for the 2005-2010 plan.
Outcomes from Planning Day can be viewed by clicking here.
During the spring 2005 semester, the University Planning
Committee shared draft themes & strategies with the University community.
Feedback to these drafts was solicited, and informed the development and
refinement of the themes & strategies. To view a presentation of the draft
themes,

The Result
On May 4, 2005, the University's Board of Trustees
approved a final draft of themes & strategies put forward by the University
Planning Committee. These themes & strategies form the heart of the
Strategic Plan document. To view the themes and strategies approved by the
Board,

Following the release of the plan, the University engaged
in the development of eleven tactical plans. These tactical plans flesh out the
mid-level planning that is described in the institution's planning &
institutional effectiveness model. They provide a venue for each administrative
area of the University, along with several functional areas, to explore ways in
which they can support the themes and strategies of the strategic plan. These
tactical plans specify ways the University can link the results of assessment
practices and processes to the ways it plans operationally, tactically, and
strategically. Information about the tactical planning process is described in
the University's
Guide
for Tactical Planners.
The tactical planning areas of the University are:
Academic Affairs, Administrative Services, Finance, Information Resources,
Institutional Advancement, Student Affairs, University Ministries, Diversity,
Enrollment Management, Human Resources, and Marketing.
