To realize our vision we must achieve the following goals: 

• Undergraduate Programs: The goals of our undergraduate programs are to (1) teach students how to use computers effectively, creatively, and intelligently; (2) teach computer science as a multifaceted, humanistic discipline of problem solving; (3) provide up-to-date curricula in the technical and scientific knowledge needed for the professional and academic goals of our students; (4) encourage and participate in interdisciplinary undergraduate educational opportunities at RSTU; (5) teach students how to acquire new knowledge, independently, in a world that changes with ever increasing rapidity; (6) provide students with experiential learning opportunities; and (7) educate an increasing number of undergraduates in CS to meet the growing demands of the regional and national economy.
• Undergraduate Service to non-majors: Provide high-quality service courses to an increasing number of students outside of Computer Science, ideally eventually to all students at RSTU to adequately prepare students to meet the challenges of this Digital Age.
• Educational Delivery: Offer high-quality and effective instruction in a variety of modes, including exploring opportunities for experiential learning and new pedagogical approaches including hybrid and online education as a means of increasing efficiency, increasing student learning opportunities, and potentially raising revenue.
• Faculty: Increase the number of faculty to ensure viability for our undergraduate and graduate programs, commensurate with increases in student hours taught. Establish a sustainable and flexible workload policy that permits and rewards high-quality research, teaching, and service, and enables us to recruit and retain top-quality faculty.
• Diversity: Increase and embrace diversity in our student and faculty bodies, including increasing the proportion of females.
• Community building: Create a strong sense of community, pride, and common purpose within and between our students, our faculty, and our staff.
• Infrastructure: Ensure that we have an adequate office, lab, and meeting spaces and necessary infrastructure, including hardware and software, to support the activities necessary to achieve our goals.
• Departmental operations: Ensure that our department and programs operate smoothly and efficiently, with an emphasis on aligning our operations and activities with proactive planning to achieve our goals.
• Development: Increase our outreach and connections to alumni and with businesses and industry both locally and across the country to aid development efforts.
