About the Planning Process

At UA Little Rock, our work for the next five years is captured in our newly crafted Integrated Strategic Plan, developed through a collaborative campus process. The Strategic Planning Committee developed five overarching goals — Access, Experience, Attainment, Research, and Community Engagement â€” that will define UA Little Rock and its effort to support students and our community. The component plans will be published soon.
