MTSU has honored its long tradition of developing and implementing an academic master plan (AMP) to ensure that the University consistently remains focused on furthering its mission with the development and implementation of the MTSU Academic Master Plan, The Reach to Distinction, 2015-2025.  The AMP process – broad based, campus-wide, and data driven – incorporated a deliberate, concerted assessment of the University’s strengths, weaknesses, challenges, and opportunities. The plan is the University’s roadmap for setting its academic goals, objectives, and allocating its resources. 

The Reach to Distinction recommits the University to three goals:

• Enhance academic quality
• Foster student-centered learning
• Leverage resources through partnerships

The University will focus on three strategic directions in pursuit of its goals—each one powerful in itself and each made immeasurably stronger in import and effect when pursued together as the University moves toward greater academic distinction.
