Master Plan for Education

A master plan for education is a comprehensive guiding document presenting the college’s 5-year plan for education program development. The plan helps inform and drive other foundational plans for the college, including the enrollment management plan, technology plan, facilities plan, staffing plan, and budget priorities. The master plan for education deeply reflects the college’s mission and vision and is rooted in intensive study of local community and workforce needs as well as a careful assessment of the college’s own strengths and opportunities for growth.

The SMC Master Plan for Education 2025-2030 establishes a framework for best serving Santa Monica College students over the next five years, taking into consideration the major demographic, economic, and educational issues facing the SMC community. The plan was developed through:

  • Consultation with SMC’s leadership
  • Interviews and focus groups with SMC administrators, faculty members, classified staff, students, and trustees
  • Input from residents, businesses, community leaders, and educators
  • Extensive review of SMCCD documents, demographic data, and research
  • Internal analysis of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT)

SMC convened a cross-functional Master Plan for Education Workgroup, supported by the consultancy Kennedy & Co., to develop the Master Plan for Education 2025-2030.
