Strategic Planning and Student Success

Welcome

The Strategic Planning and Student Success Division is responsible for coordinating and updating the Board of Regents’ (BoR) Master Plan, including the development of policy, resources, and initiatives to support Master Plan goals. The division also shares responsibility for many statewide and federal reporting requirements, responding to legislative requests and resolutions, and fulfilling data requests from a wide range of stakeholders. The section oversees the registration and licensure of non-academic proprietary schools in Louisiana, as well as statewide workforce and education planning coordinated through the LaSTEM Advisory Council and Cybersecurity Education Management Council.
