Directions for the Future
The University of Southern Indiana is committed to being first and foremost an institution known for the quality of its instruction. At the same time, its faculty members are committed to accomplishing the scholarship and applied research that guarantee the quality of instruction. With a broad base of undergraduate programs in place and strengthened, the University will continue to implement programs which reflect the employment needs of the southern Indiana region and strengthen human resources of the state of Indiana. Graduate degree programs which will be added are targeted to employed professionals in the region and reflect the continuing education needs of the public. An excellent example is the new Doctor of Nursing Practice degree, USI’s first program at the doctoral level.
The University will continue to strengthen partnerships with employers in the region and to be a catalyst for economic development. Co-op and internship programs for students continue to expand. The University plays a large role as a convener of important public policy issues.
Innovation will be required to provide the services and resources needed for a growing student population. Growth in enrollment will demand a greater range of services in housing, student life, and academic support. A task force on enrollment and retention management studied patterns of persistence and degree attainment by USI students and recommended steps to assist students in achieving academic goals and to strengthen the overall academic climate.
As the institution seeks to raise public awareness of its academic distinctiveness, there will be more emphasis on branding and integrated marketing.
