System Design Plan
SDP Update: The latest information on the System Design Plan is now available following the October 19 meeting.
- Updated System Design Plan Outline
- Attachment A: Expand on Demand
- Attachment B: Increasing Educational Attainment Levels
- Attachment C: Major Capital Expansion
- System Design PowerPoint
The Strategic Master Plan for Higher Education in Washington, approved by the Legislature in 2008, calls for increasing degree production in Washington by 40 percent by the end of the next decade. To accomplish this, a system design plan is needed to guide the development of the Washington higher education system strategically.
The new plan will provide:
Recommendations to increase undergraduate and graduate educational attainment levels for Washington by the year 2030.
-
Recommendations to determine when and where to locate new campuses and higher education centers.
-
Rational rules for growth to help guide expansion and coordination of the higher education system in Washington over the next several decades.
-
Recommendations to increase higher education for under-served areas and populations.
The System Design Plan, the most comprehensive review of the higher education delivery system in Washington in nearly 30 years, will provide a framework for these and other decisions as institutions re-examine their roles and missions in light of future needs and resources.
