Central Connecticut State University Strategic Plan 2030
Central Connecticut State University's Strategic Plan 2030 aims to establish the institution as a leading, financially sustainable, and student-centered university. The plan focuses on several key areas: enhancing academic excellence through new degree programs (e.g., nursing, social work, AI, climate change), modernizing infrastructure with state-of-the-art facilities like the Library Annex and AI Corridor, and strengthening student support and retention initiatives. It also emphasizes fostering robust partnerships with industry and the community, notably through the Central Connecticut Workforce and Innovation Hub, to provide experiential learning opportunities. The university's strategic direction aligns with the board of regions' pillars of access, completion, and talent, addressing challenges in public perception, demographics, and financial support through increased enrollment, retention efforts, and diversified revenue streams.
