In Christ and In Unity

OUR VISION IN ACTION

See updates from academic programs and initiatives that demonstrate the ways our strategic values are being further integrated with our core identity at ACU. Making the campus and broader ACU community aware of past and present successes in the strategic areas enables us to build on these strengths in the future. These are just a few of those stories.

Feature: Study Abroad Programs

EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING

The Strategic Plan

In 2013, ACU completed an engaging and rigorous planning process that involved more than 200 members of the university community, followed by work with the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) and college deans. In 2015, the SLT reviewed the strategic themes. Out of that work this new strategic plan was developed.
