2023-2025 Strategic Plan

In 2022, SUNY Niagara launched a comprehensive review of its enrollment strategies, examining every step of the student journey from recruitment to post-graduate success. The Strategic Enrollment Management Committee set key goals focused on:

The student funnel from recruitment to graduation
Recruiting and marketing
Academic offerings
Data-driven planning

Guided by these priorities, the Committee updated goals college-wide to expand enrollment opportunities, strengthen curricula, build regional partnerships, and ensure sustainable improvements.

Our 2023-2025 Strategic Plan outlines a three-year roadmap to transform SUNY Niagara. Key initiatives include broadening allied health and technology programs, officially designating NFCI as our second campus, and improving access for working adults through flexible scheduling and online options.

Detailed plans and outcomes for each division are available. Dive into the specifics of our vision for the future on our Strategic Plan page.
