Charting the Course 

Strategies . . .

1. Focused Differentiation:
   We will set ourselves apart and build our reputation upon unique strengths that generate opportunities for synergy and leverage. We will differentiate ourselves from the competition so as to let students know why this should be their university of choice. We will attain technological and programmatic excellence related to our setting so as to create competitive and comparative advantage. Importantly, we recognize that building focused excellence will enhance the breadth and depth of our total educational offerings, thereby making The University of Akron more attractive to students, faculty, and staff.
