University of Hawai'i Maui College has established a process to connect resource allocation directly to program review and strategic planning. This assessment-focused process aligns resource allocations with planning in support of student learning. The recently established Strategic Planning and Assessment committee facilitates this process toward establishing campus priorities that are grounded in results from degree program level assessment of student learning and input from the broader community.

Currently UHMC is in the planning phase of its 2015-2020 Strategic Plan. More information can be found under the 2015-2020 Planning Phase link.
