THE STRATEGIC PLAN

Blueprint to 2033

Georgia State’s strategic vision during the past decade profoundly transformed the university into one of the nation’s premier public research institutions, serving as a national model for excellence in student success, research, creativity and scholarship. The university’s new strategic plan, Blueprint to 2033: Our Place, Our Time, is its next roadmap to accelerate the institution towards ever greater innovation and leadership.

STUDENT SUCCESS

A National Leader

Georgia State is a national model for student success. We harness the power of data to help our students earn their degrees. We have had one of the most dramatic increases in graduation rates in the country and we have closed the achievement gap, affirming that students from all backgrounds can succeed at the same rate.

FACULTY EXCELLENCE

Discovery, Creativity & Scholarship

We pursue a dynamic vision built on the hard work, dedication and achievement of people who have propelled Georgia State to where it is today. Our research is broad and deep, addressing critical societal issues and pushing the boundaries of knowledge. Through exciting interdisciplinary initiatives and programs, we continue to rise to national prominence, bringing in scholars from around the world to open new pathways of discovery and creativity.
