This strategic plan aims to empower communities, promote educational excellence, energize the local workforce, and uplift families, envisioning a diverse, united community driven by innovation and enduring connections. The plan is structured around five strategic goals: fostering a 'Students First' culture by removing barriers, growing enrollment through relevant academic programs, expanding community engagement, cultivating a vibrant workplace culture, and ensuring fiscal sustainability. Guiding principles emphasize access, integrity, student success, responsiveness, resourcefulness, and respect.

The Blue Mountain Community College (BMCC) Strategic Enrollment Management (SEM) Master Plan (2015-2020), revised January 25, 2018, aligns with the College's refreshed strategic plan. The plan focuses on three core themes: access to quality programs and services; opportunities for students to complete, transfer, and advance; and responsiveness to community needs. Strategic goals include creating a "students first" learning environment, offering relevant curriculum, promoting continuous improvement, and building a diverse, high-quality workforce. Priority areas include data and technology, teaching and learning, and equity. The plan outlines numerous strategies and initiatives to improve student success, including enhancing student support services, improving recruitment and retention rates, implementing a guided pathways model, and expanding career services. The plan aims to increase enrollment yield rates, persistence and retention rates, completion rates, and transfer rates, while also improving advising and curriculum. The plan also focuses on increasing the number of students obtaining CTE-related licensure and employment and increasing alumni membership and activity.

Blue Mountain Community College's 2025-2028 Strategic Plan will guide the institution's operational decisions, ensuring alignment with its mission, vision, and values, and compliance with relevant regulations. The planning process, which started in 2023 with listening sessions, involves identifying five core pillars and developing strategic initiatives. The plan will address short-term and long-term opportunities for the college. The plan will be shared with the campus and surrounding communities for input and feedback before finalization.

The Blue Mountain Community College Academic Master Plan 2015-2020 focuses on improving the college's curriculum, enhancing continuous improvement processes, and developing a high-quality workforce. Key areas of focus include aligning program offerings with student and community needs, strengthening employer partnerships to develop relevant skills training, implementing a robust program review process to ensure continuous improvement based on evidence, and assessing student learning at the course, program, and degree levels. The plan also emphasizes professional development for faculty and staff, and the use of data to inform decision-making and improve student success. Targeted outcomes include increased student completion rates, improved student satisfaction, and a curriculum that is responsive to the needs of the community and the workforce.
