Charge to
Task Force
ACU’s strategic plan reinforces the university’s commitment to remain innovative and relevant. While such a commitment spans the entire institution, ensuring our academic program offerings exhibit these characteristics is foundational, given that we are an academic institution.
Enhancing Academic Programs
