Strategic Plan Strategic Plan Strategic planning at UMB provides a framework for setting priorities, aligning resources, and guiding decision-making in support of the University’s mission. Each strategic plan reflects the needs and opportunities of its time, while building on the work and progress of previous plans. The University of Maryland, Baltimore’s (UMB) strategic plans tell the story of where we have been, where we are, and where we are going. The two completed five-year plans, UMB’s current strategic plan, and a preview of the next highlight the priorities, progress, and lessons that have shaped the University’s direction over time. Each five-year strategic plan represents a chapter in the University’s story. While each plan reflects the context of its moment, together they demonstrate a shared commitment to learning, adaptability, and purposeful action, ensuring that UMB’s future is informed by experience and aspiration.
