Strategic Framework

In 2013, under the leadership of President Ali A. Houshmand, Rowan University adopted the four strategic pillars of Access, Affordability, Quality, and Economic Engine and committed to a set of ten-year targets for enrollment, the operating budget, sponsored funding, and the endowment. The pillars and targets have since propelled significant investments to advance progress toward these objectives. In 2017, the University developed and approved a new mission statement centered on a vision of the institution as Inclusive, Agile, and Responsive. Five institutional goals linked to this mission were articulated and three strategic domains were established. This framework, represented in the One-Page Strategic Plan, facilitates decisions, actions, and assessment within the dynamic higher education landscape.
