This strategic plan outlines institutional objectives for the period 2024-2027, structured around four main pillars: Access, Success, Equity, and Relationships. The Access pillar aims to increase unduplicated headcount and FTE in curriculum, continuing education, and basic skills programs. The Success pillar focuses on improving student success rates in English, Math, program completion, and college transfer, while also enhancing employee and community success. The Equity pillar seeks to reduce achievement gaps for specific student demographics and promote diversity among student and employee populations. The Relationships pillar is dedicated to strengthening connections with employees, students, institutions, and industries.

The College of Albemarle's 2024-2027 Strategic Plan outlines key objectives focused on improving student success, promoting equity, and strengthening relationships with stakeholders. The plan targets increases in student enrollment and FTE across various programs (curriculum, continuing education, basic skills), aiming for a 2-6% annual growth over three years. Specific performance measures, such as success rates in credit English and math, completion rates, and college transfer rates, are set with targets for improvement. The plan also addresses equity gaps by focusing on reducing disparities in progression, persistence, and completion rates among different student demographics (race/ethnicity, Pell Grant recipients). Furthermore, it aims to increase the diversity of both student and employee populations, setting targets for minority representation. Finally, the plan emphasizes strengthening relationships with employees and students through improved communication, support services, and satisfaction initiatives.

The 2021-2024 Strategic Plan for College of The Albemarle (COA) focuses on four key themes: Access, Success, Diversity, and Relationships. The plan aims to increase access to opportunities and resources, improve student and community success, promote diversity and inclusion, and strengthen relationships with partners. COA will use Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to monitor progress toward these goals, which will be developed and implemented by individual units within the college. The plan emphasizes a commitment to continuous improvement and collaboration to achieve its mission of transforming lives through accessible, supportive education.
