Build Undergraduate Academic Excellence MAXIM THREE
wtamu.edu/wt125undergradacademics
ASPIRATION
The quality of the student body, the quality of teaching and advising available to them and the quality of the faculty who work with undergraduates all contribute to the undergraduate academic experience. The strength of a Regional Research University is defined in part from the quality of the core humanities arts and sciences programs offered. While our programs are sound, improvement and strength of identity are needed. Essential to success is recruiting high-achieving students. We need to engage the very best freshman scholars. INNOVATION In this context, innovation will be the transformation of a regional institution into a different and yet well-defined type of institution with a liberal arts foundation and an experiential learning focus embedded into many facets of the curriculum and campus culture.
Metric: Have the highest percentage of top 25 percent high school graduates of any of our geographic peers. Metric: Secure 50 percent of the valedictorians and salutatorians graduating from public and private high schools in the top 26 counties of Texas. These students will import the values of the communities fromwhich they hail and will help shape the University. WT will lead the state in attracting the highest number of top graduates in our service region.
73.3 percent of WT full-time faculty hold a terminal degree.
