CHCS Strategic Plan 2020-2025

Nova Southeastern University, Copyright © 2019 2 PREAMBLE The PCHCS Strategic Plan, titled, A Blueprint for Achieving Academic Excellence , is geared towards the attainment and preservation of academic excellence in all programs in the PCHCS. It is acutely linked to four important elements: our Faculty, the Academic Processes, the Infrastructure, and our students. There are also critical factors associated with each, which when fully integrated in all of the college’s programs, will be recognized as important markers of progress in the achievement of academic excellence. Appropriately, these markers will be emphasized as our programs adopt the values embodied in the university’s mission, that being, “…fostering intellectual inquiry, leadership, and commitment to community through engagement of students and faculty members in a dynamic, life-long learning environment.” Importantly, to fulfill its mission, the PCHCS will work to attract and retain the brightest and best faculty while encouraging and supporting them to choose paths that allow for program growth, personal growth, and skill development. Additionally, the college will aim to attract, retain, and graduate highly qualified students while creating and maintaining a learning environment that promotes respect for and appreciation of best academic practices, including sound outcomes assessment. The mission of the PCHCS will only be fully realized if all programs are provided with the most practicable technology, adequate space and equipment, and other vital infrastructure supports that facilitate efficient and effective programming within each unit.
