The Montana University System Strategic Plan is the primary planning document of the Board of Regents. The Plan sets forth an agenda for higher education in Montana by delineating the strategic directions, goals, and objectives that guide the Montana University System (MUS). In July 2006, after several years of study, public dialogue, and internal deliberations, the Board of Regents approved the Strategic Plan. Since then, updates have occurred annually, including revisions to strategic initiatives as well as a refreshing of the data within each goal. The Strategic Plan is comprised of three primary goals that contain a series of sub-goal statements and objectives within each area: (1) Access and Affordability--Increase the overall educational attainment of Montanans through increased participation, retention, and completion rates in the Montana University System; (2) Workforce and Economic Development--Assist in the expansion and improvement of the state's economy through the development of high value jobs and the diversification of the economic base; and (3) Efficiency and Effectiveness--Improve institutional and system efficiency and effectiveness. The following is appended: Success Agenda. [Cover title varies: "MUS Strategic Plan 2016."].
