This document serves as Excelsior University's Public Disclosure of Student Achievement, reporting on key performance indicators related to student success. The university's strategic focus, as evidenced by this report, is on monitoring and achieving targets for student retention and program completion across various Master's and Bachelor's degrees offered by the School of Business and College of Liberal Arts & Sciences. The report covers the academic period from 2019 to 2025, providing transparency on academic outcomes and implicitly supporting a strategy of continuous improvement in educational delivery.

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.

Excelsior University's 2023-2025 strategic plan focuses on five key goals: driving enrollment and expanding its academic portfolio; advancing leadership in teaching, learning, and course design; providing exceptional student experiences; broadening partnerships to support institutional transformation; and becoming a multicultural organization that integrates Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) initiatives. The plan aims to increase credit taking and revenue, launch new degree programs, develop a data-driven teaching model, enhance student support services, establish strategic partnerships, and maximize fundraising efforts. JEDI integration will involve implementing the JEDI Map framework, developing allyship teams, integrating JEDI into curricula, and enhancing recruitment and retention of a diverse workforce.
