The 2025-2029 Strategic Plan, "DIU Global Launch!" for Dallas International University (DIU) aims to establish DIU as a global learning hub for Christian higher education. The plan addresses challenges facing small Christian universities, including declining enrollment and funding issues, by focusing on three impact areas: Academic Excellence (field-based instruction, focused programs, academic development, professional development, quality instruction, and research), Institutional Integrity (Christ-centered environment, administrative services, thriving community, advancing the mission, student success, community experience, and institutional effectiveness), and Global Impact (global learning environment, institutional partnerships, contextualized academic programs, intercultural prayer and spiritual growth, student support, and global communication). The plan emphasizes partnerships, enhanced distance education, and on-the-ground mentoring to meet the evolving needs of the Bible translation movement and global mission work. It also addresses the financial challenges related to employing seconded personnel while maintaining the benefits of this model.
