Strategic Planning SWOT Analysis
University strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT Analysis) were identified by members of University Strategic Goals and Priorities Committee (USGPC) during a brainstorming session in January, 2004. Administrators, faculty, and students reviewed the analysis and provided input during the President’s retreat this summer. Background information on the organization’s strengths and weakness in relation to opportunities and threats it faces can be useful in considering strategic issues. The SWOT analysis was used to develop the attached strategic questions. These questions and others raised by participants at the workshop will help define strategic directions important to the university in the next five year.
