Welcome...

to University Planning and Assessment at Texas State University. It is our philosophy that these two processes go hand in hand and are critical to the success of every endeavor we take as a university. We strive to establish and maintain a comprehensive and integrated planning, budgeting, and assessment process that will spur Texas State closer to becoming one of the premier universities in the state of Texas.

Texas State University Plan 2012-2017

This fall, we began a new 5-year planning cycle for 2012-2017. Over the past two years, we have been preparing a new university plan by reviewing potential environmental impacts, mission statement, goal statements, and desired future initiatives. All of these efforts have culminated into the Texas State University Plan for 2012-2017.

 
In preparation for the kick-off of the new 2012-2017 planning cycle in Fall 2012, college deans and vice presidents are publicly sharing their top five planning priorities with the campus community. The Deans’ open forums were held on Wednesday, March 21 and Thursday, March 22, 2012. Summaries of their presentations are now available. On Tuesday, April 10th at 2:00 p.m. (in the Reed Parr Room, JCK 1100), the Provost will share his priorities in an open forum, followed by the vice presidents on Wednesday, April 18, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. (in the Reed Parr Room, JCK 1100). Summaries from these presentations will also be available for review.

Introducing the 2012-2017 Strategic Planning Cycle
Beginning spring 2012, all academic departments/schools/colleges and administrative departments/units/divisions will begin developing strategic plans for 2012-2017 which will align with the recently approved University goals and initiatives. Detailed instructions, samples, and a formatted template are provided in the specific drop-down menus above. Additionally, a faculty development workshop will be presented on February 1st, as well as a professional development session on either February 13th or 14th, to guide in the development of these plans. The new planning cycle will be implemented in fall 2012.
