Excelsior University Strategic Plan 2026-2028

This strategic plan outlines Excelsior University's direction to prepare students for academic and career success by expanding its degree portfolio, offering programs in multiple modalities, and establishing teaching sites. Key strategic goals include forging new, market-driven programs, locations, and partnerships in health, business, and technology; developing deep institutional collaborations; exploring mergers, partnerships, or acquisitions; innovating with technology to deliver best-in-class student experiences; and fostering a community of support by reducing financial, cultural, and social barriers, with a focus on military and veteran students. The vision is to achieve 14,000 students by 2028 across online, hybrid, and in-person modalities, from pre-degree certificates to terminal degrees.
