University Planning, Budget & Analysis
Welcome to the web site for the University's planning, budget and analysis process. This page is designed to help keep constituents of Montana State University-Bozeman informed of current activities of the various committees that are part of these planning and budgeting processes. Within this web site, you will find documents outlining the process concepts, committee agendas and minutes, and other pertinent documents.
President's Comments
 For Montana State University's future growth and success, we are establishing direct and permanent links between our planning and budgeting efforts. The University must identify specific, institutional priorities through our long range plan; develop strategic initiatives to achieve those priorities; guide all budget decisions with our priorities and strategies; and, regularly assess the success of our plans, strategies, and budget decisions. That is the goal of the Planning, Budget & Analysis Process that we initiated in February of 2001. Although the University Planning, Budget & Analysis Committee (UPBAC) is directly responsible for guiding all aspects of this new process, and developing the University's general operating budget each year, I expect this process to be open to, and inclusive of, the entire campus community. That is why this web site was established. For the next few years, we must remember that this is a dynamic process which involves four interwoven phases in each annual cycle, and that the full process will require some time to mature -- as much as three years. Although we just introduced this concept to campus leaders on February 21, 2001, already, we have made great strides in the implementation of this process.
What will MSU-Bozeman be like in five years?
