Strategic Plan

The College of Business maintains a Strategic Plan (PDF) that includes the following elements:

• Vision
• Mission
• Core Values/Guiding Principles
• Principal Goals
• Priority Action Items (with performance indicators)
• Priority Maintenance Items (with performance indicators)

Priority action items and priority maintenance items are reviewed and modified based on assessment of the degree to which priorities have been realized. Assessment results are reported annually through the following reports:

• College of Business Annual Maintenance of Accreditation Reports (prepared for AACSB International)
• College of Business Annual Report (prepared for the University of West Florida)

The entire plan is reviewed periodically based on the review and analysis of assessment data and strength/weakness/opportunities/threats analyses generated by faculty, staff, students, and regional business representatives.

Financial Strategies

The College has access to funding for its programs and activities through allocations made to the College from the following sources:
