From a legacy of preparing teachers for the Commonwealth’s public schools,
Lock Haven University is in the process of expanding its mission to respond
to evolving workforce needs. The previous five years have brought additions
to liberal arts and professional programs on both campuses, and we anticipate
that trend to continue. We envision modest and gradual growth of the undergraduate,
on-campus programs, but much steeper growth in demands for access to graduate,
continuing, and distance education programs.
We will need to make difficult choices to stay competitive, while retaining our
core identity as an institution. Encouraging positive yet sustainable growth will
be a challenge for the university over the next five to ten years, including the
need for significant addition to and upgrading of physical facilities and technological
infrastructure. We will be seeking more national recognition of quality academic
programs in the form of accreditation, as well as building upon the relationships
and partnerships we have at the local and international levels. Over these five years
the entire campus community will be engaged in finding the resources needed to build
on our strengths and to reach our goals.
