Arts & Sciences Strategic Plan

College of Arts & Sciences Strategic Plan 2020-2025

Acknowledgments

The associate deans and affiliated staff in the Dean's Office of the Baylor University College of Arts & Sciences worked diligently to produce a draft document based on the completed work of the previous Arts & Sciences strategic plan, A&Spire, and in response to the new University plan, Illuminate. After receiving feedback from department chairs and faculty, we made further revisions as you will see in this published document.

I extend my gratitude to those who worked so hard to support the greater good of Baylor University and for their willingness to stretch themselves in their aspirations.

Lee C. Nordt

Dean, College of Arts & Sciences
