Texas State University Strategic Plan April 2014

Vision Statement……………………………………………...…......11 II. Plan to Increase Research Funding and Productivity………………..12 III. Plan to Improve Undergraduate Education…………………...……..28 IV.

National Visibility………………………………………………...…73 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In January 2012, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) reclassified Texas State University as an Emerging Research University (ERU). In light of its new classification, the university has developed a long-term research strategic plan to accomplish two goals: (1) achieving eligibility to receive National Research University Funding (NRUF) and (2) achieving recognition as a Research University. In fall 2012, Dr. Gene Bourgeois, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, appointed an Executive Research Planning Committee (ERPC), comprised of faculty, students, and administrative staff from across campus. The ERPC had three important resources to guide its efforts: (1) THECB research plan guidelines, (2) NRUF eligibility criteria, and (3) the recently approved 2012-2017 University Plan. The last of these documents includes three goals that map closely to THECB research plan guidelines (see Preface). The ERPC assessed two mandatory1 and six optional2 criteria necessary for NRUF eligibility. The committee determined that, with the exception of a requirement to award 200 Ph.D. degrees annually, all other criteria were attainable in 8-11 years. Within a contextual framework provided by available documents and resources, the committee then produced a draft strategic plan for moving the university towards its goals.
