Progress toward these goals and metrics will be achieved through the hard work and commitment of institutional leaders, faculty, and staff. WSSU has identified five “Prioritize” categories to contribute to the Strategic Plan: low-income completions; rural completions; five-year graduation rates; achievement gaps in undergraduate degree efficiency; and increasing critical workforce credentials.
