Focus Carolina

Focus Carolina is the University of South Carolina's strategic plan that provides a blueprint for key decision making in the next decade and beyond.

Focus Carolina articulates the university's quest for educational quality, leadership, innovation, diversity, access, global competition and community engagement at all eight campuses of the university system. View the Focus Carolina Strategic Plan or Digest.

Blueprints for Academic Excellence for Academic Units Each academic unit prepares an annual Blueprint for Academic Excellence to provide clear articulation of academic priorities and goals with action plans and assessment measures. The plans are linked with the University-wide Advance Carolina planning process and the annual budget planning process.
