Previous Strategic Plan
The Arkansas Tech University Board of Trustees voted on June 16, 2022, to adopt "ATU 2025: Strategic Plan" as a document that established overarching goals for the institution over a period of three years. That plan is due to sunset at the conclusion of the 2024-25 academic year.
