Strategic Plan

THE PLANNING PROCESS

A series of activities was engaged to develop the 2024-2029 Strategic Plan for the Division of Professional and Continuing Studies. In addition to extensive research, which entailed examining past and present data, identifying external and internal influences, and conducting sessions with alumni, students, faculty, staff, and other stakeholders, we also spoke with some experts in various disciplines.

The activities aided the Division in reviewing its mission and in formulating strategic priorities, goals, and objectives for 2024-2029.

Elevating the Mission

The ﾐﾂｲ靹ｱｲ･ value proposition has been apparent since 1867. This extraordinary educational experience has led to careers of influence for Black men who have provided extraordinary leadership to the nation and the world. Elevating the mission and attracting to ﾐﾂｲ靹ｱｲ･ those who are compelled by that mission will require a focus on enhancing space and place and amplifying our reach through marketing and technology. Thus, it is time to build the campus of the future.

As an Atlanta university, ﾐﾂｲ靹ｱｲ･ is opening the doors of opportunity to more men than ever before through our high-quality, affordable online degree programs. Wherever students live, ﾐﾂｲ靹ｱｲ･ Online will provide students with the personalized attention they need to pursue excellence and share their unique insights with the world. Online students will become a part of our global community through interactive tools that allow them to connect with men whose drive matches their own.

ﾐﾂｲ靹ｱｲ･ Online students will experience:
- Asynchronous and synchronous classes
- A meaningful curriculum
- A sophisticated and intuitive online platform
- Interactive and collaborative coursework
- Dedicated support from advisors and professors
