Strategic Plan for Internationalization
UC Santa Cruz is implementing its Strategic Plan for Internationalization (SPI), and corresponding Implementation Plan, both living, evolving documents that culminate our extended two-year participation in the American Council on Education’s (ACE) Internationalization Laboratory.
SPI Goals
Internationalization at UC Santa Cruz will be achieved through the implementation of five goals:
Goal 1 - Expand and Enhance Globally-Focused Research and Engagement
Goal 2 - Provide Global Learning Opportunities for All
Goal 3 - Strengthen Student Success
Campus-wide Goals
As we work toward internationalization, we will maintain focus on UC Santa Cruz’s campus-wide goals:
- Advance student success by improving retention and graduation rates and closing equity gaps
- Increase UC Santa Cruz’s research profile and impact
- Foster an inclusive campus climate that embraces and values diversity
- Improve efficiency, effectiveness, and resilience
