Strategic planning is a primary tool to implement our mission, accomplish our vision, and meet the distinct challenges facing Brooklyn College and higher education in the coming years. We are grateful to the Strategic Planning Committee, a diverse group of Brooklyn College students, staff, and faculty, who worked with and analyzed feedback from our stakeholders. With the support of the committee, the college worked to develop a plan built on its unique strengths and aspirations. We thank the committee and the Brooklyn College community that contributed to the Strategic Plan 2024–2029.

We believe in the power of student-centered higher education and scholarly research to transform our diverse students’ lives and empower them to build a better future.
Brooklyn College provides an excellent, affordable, and transformative education to students who reflect the great diversity of our vibrant borough and country. We have a special commitment to educating immigrants and first-generation college students from our city and state. Through outstanding research and academic programs, we educate leaders who think critically and creatively to make positive change in the world.
We strive to make Brooklyn College the best public college in the Northeast—a world-class, distinctive engine of intellectual discourse and social mobility that draws on its exceptional faculty, staff, and location to prepare graduates to shape and improve the rapidly changing world.
Elevate Brooklyn College as an engine for social mobility and advanced educational excellence where cutting-edge curricula and innovative research propel students and faculty to achieve their highest potential.
Ensure financial resilience through collaboration and transparency and expand resources to provide equitable support for the college’s mission and its aspirations.
Nurture and support a campus culture that thrives on diversity, equity, inclusivity, and a deep sense of belonging, where community events, spaces, and initiatives reflect and celebrate the richness of our identities and perspectives.

Enhance collaboration and communication by leveraging best practices to foster cohesiveness, transparency, efficiency, and external community engagement.
The Brooklyn College community developed the Strategic Plan 2018–2023 (PDF) through an extraordinarily inclusive and transparent process. Thereafter, we developed a streamlined version entitled Strategic Plan 2.0 (PDF). The global COVID-19 pandemic impeded progress across the college’s planned work, and we have now evaluated the extent to which the college achieved its strategic goals. Our Strategic Goals Scorecard (PDF) reveals that, despite the pandemic, the college met or exceeded the majority of its strategic goals.
