Brandon University – Looking Ahead: Academic Plan 2015-2020

Academic Planning

The Office of the Provost & Vice-President (Academic), under the mandate of the Brandon University Senate, was tasked with the development of a new Academic Strategic Plan.  In 2013, the Vice-President (Academic & Provost) led this initiative with the creation of the Academic Planning Framework.  This document, approved by Senate in December 2013, was used as a reference tool to guide the process of creating a new strategic plan.    Also in December 2013, the Senate approved the Terms of Reference for the Integrated Strategic Planning Steering Committee.  This Ad Hoc Committee was charged with conducting the University Academic Planning process, including drafting the Academic Plan every three or five years.

The Brandon University Academic Plan, approved by Senate in October 2014, represents the strategic plan for the University’s academic program and academic service units aimed at guiding the development of academic programs, research, community engagement and partnerships to meet student and societal needs as well as to progress the mission and vision of the University.  The Academic Plan is therefore crucial for creating a focus point to guide the University’s drive to build organization effectiveness and partnership success.
