UHSP Strategic Plan 2021-2023
Since we embarked on our strategic plan, STLCOP 20/20, in 2011, our institution has grown and evolved in countless ways. We have added academic programs at the bachelor’s and master’s levels, transformed our physical campus, grown our research capacity, and established collaborations with local and regional partners to increase student opportunities.
Today, our newly completed three-year strategic plan will build on the momentum we have already accomplished and guide us as we take our next steps toward the future.
