Planning and New Directions



URI's Mission

Endorsed by the Faculty Senate and approved by the President and the Board of Governors for Higher Education.


Academic Plan

This academic plan provides strategic direction, a set of broadly defined goals critical to the evolution of our University, and a series of guideposts for our journey along the path to the future. It is not meant to be a prescriptive plan, but rather a dynamic one open to modification over time as we proceed, progress, and observe changes in the world. As such, the strategies and actions will be revisited annually and amended as appropriate. There is little doubt that new actions will emerge, and not every proposed action will need to be enacted. The ideas in this plan are meant to guide our work, focus us on our priorities, and, along with our vision, inspire us to move forward in exciting new directions.


Academic Vision

The University's Academic Vision represents its aspirations for the University in the future. The vision represents our shared ideas about what our university can become and stand for in the future. It serves as a guide for all planning at the University as the roadmap to enhance the University's future viability. Achieving the goals articulated in the University's Academic Plan as well as other divisional planning will help us reach this vision.
