Strategic Enrollment Planning

Building the Next Strategic Enrollment Plan

As K-State continues to implement key elements of the Next-Gen K-State Strategic Plan, the university is acutely focused on the work needed to support the achievement of two strategic imperatives:

  • Growing our total student enrollment to 30,000 learners by 2030
  • Making meaningful improvements in our graduation and retention rates across all student populations

That is why we are embarking on the creation of our next Strategic Enrollment Plan, building upon the work that began with the inception of our last five-year plan. We are aiming to have the new plan in place in October 2024, with work taking place over summer/fall 2024.


About the planning process

While the University’s 2018-2023 Strategic Enrollment Plan was primarily focused on undergraduate students, this planning initiative will take a more comprehensive, integrated approach. The objectives of this planning process include:

  • Facilitating a data-informed assessment and conversations on the current state of Kansas State University’s enrollment and retention, focused on identifying areas of opportunity across undergraduate, graduate, and alternative credential-seeking learners, inclusive of online students and all other populations,
  • Developing a comprehensive, five-year strategic enrollment plan to define and drive institutional priorities for student/learner enrollment, and
  • Establishing a planning and implementation structure and associated working groups to develop the strategic enrollment plan and subsequently drive its execution.
