Strategic Planning in Action: Dashboard Insights
SUNY Broome’s Strategic Plan is a multi-year roadmap designed to guide the College’s progress from 2024 through 2027. Building on the previous 2017–2022 plan, this initiative was developed through a collaborative and inclusive process, incorporating stakeholder feedback, key institutional data, and alignment with foundational plans such as the Academic Master Plan and Strategic Enrollment Management. The plan outlines measurable goals and strategies across academic programs, student support, enrollment, equity, and community partnerships.
Strategic Plan KPI Highlights
SUNY Broome’s Strategic Plan Dashboard tracks Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) aligned with the College’s institutional goals. These KPIs help assess progress in areas such as inclusive student support, equitable educational and career outcomes, community partnerships, and organizational sustainability.
The following highlights focus on selected metrics that reflect student success and institutional impact.
- Retention, and Earned Credit Hours
These categories present longitudinal data on student progress and persistence, focusing on three key metrics: Fall- to-Spring Retention, Fall-to-Fall Retention, and Earned Credit Hours. Users can filter results by full-time or part-time (FT/PT) status to analyze trends across different enrollment types. These indicators help monitor student continuity and academic momentum, supporting institutional efforts to improve retention and completion rates.
- Microcredentials and Credits for Prior Learning (CPL)
This metric highlights the number of microcredentials awarded and the volume of college credit granted for prior learning. Microcredentials are short-term, skill-based credentials—both credit and non-credit—that help students enhance employability and career mobility. Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) recognizes students’ existing knowledge gained through work, training, or other experiences. These pathways support flexible, accelerated progress toward academic and career goals, while enhancing equity.
- Student Equity Gaps
The Student Equity Gaps category provides a multi-year view of equity in student outcomes across three key areas: Earned Credit Hours, Retention, and Graduation. Users can explore disaggregated data by applying filters for full- time/part-time status and student type, enabling a deeper understanding of outcome disparities between student groups over time. This dashboard supports SUNY Broome’s commitment to equity and inclusive student success.
- Student Employment Rates
This metric presents post-graduation outcomes based on student survey responses from 2021 to 2024. It highlights two key metrics: employment status and job relevance to the graduate’s degree. Users can view trends over time and examine outcomes by graduation year using built-in filters. The dashboard helps assess how well SUNY Broome programs prepare students for the workforce and align with their fields of study.
- Student Enrollment Trends
This section displays multi-year enrollment trends at SUNY Broome. It includes data on Total, Full-Time, and Part- Time enrollment from Fall 2019 to Fall 2024, with the ability to filter by Gender, Age, and PELL recipient status. Additionally, it tracks enrollment distribution across racial and ethnic groups, supporting analysis of demographic changes over time. The dashboard also provides 1-year and 5-year percentage changes in Full-Time and Part-Time student populations.
- SUNY Broome Foundation Support
This metric illustrates annual funding provided by the SUNY Broome Foundation to support students, faculty, and campus initiatives. It includes categories such as grants-in-aid, merit scholarships, special projects/departmental grants, and capital project funding. Users can view trends in total funding and award distribution by academic year. BCC Foundation plays a key role in advancing student success, innovation, and institutional development.
Explore Additional KPIs
In addition to the metrics highlighted above, the Strategic Plan Dashboard features several other Key Performance Indicators—covering academic progress, student support, community engagement, campus optimization, and more.
