The University and Community College System of Nevada (UCCSN) has created the following seven interrelated goals that establish a roadmap for the growth of higher education in Nevada: (1) Student-Focused System; (2) Reputation for Excellence; (3) Quality Education; (4) A Prosperous Economy; (5) P-16 Education; (6) Building Quality of Life; and (7) Opportunity and Accessible Education for All. Continuous progress toward these goals will be expected, measured, and demonstrated. The goals are not stated in priority order and no single goal stands alone. Each is inextricably linked with the others in a variety of ways, as seen through the targets and strategies developed for each goal. Clearly defined benchmarks will be established to measure progress toward each goal. Once benchmarks are established, they will be monitored regularly to make sure there is consistent improvement and steady advancement, both systemwide and by each institution. This plan incorporates key findings and recommendations from a study conducted by the RAND Corporation in 2001 as well as a report by the Battelle Memorial Institute issued in 2000. In addition, the original goals established in 2002 have been reviewed and discussed by both the Board of Regents and the UCCSN institutions. Based on this feedback, the Board approved modifications to the Master Plan goals in 2004. Implementation of the plan will rely on the efficient use of existing structures and institutions.
