Academic Plan 1990-2005
This document outlines the academic planning and vision for the Graduate Division at UCSC, aiming to increase graduate student enrollment to 20% of the student body by 2005 and enhance the institution's standing among top research universities. It critically analyzes current graduate enrollment plans and proposes a vision centered on building out existing programs, adding new professional and Ph.D. programs, and explicitly focusing on training college and university professors. Strategic themes include cultural and ethnic diversity, environmental studies, K-12 education, technology, and global systems with an emphasis on the Pacific Rim. The plan suggests radical rethinking, including the potential for a satellite campus, to achieve a target of 3,000 graduate students by 2005.
