In 2012, Mohawk College developed an Academic Plan that considers the needs of our community and ensures that the College produces highly skilled graduates who will not just get jobs but also help to create them. Cross-functional and cross-disciplinary project teams have been tasked with bringing our Academic Plan's inspired ideas to achievable actions.
As of April 2014, twelve Academic Plan Project Teams have engaged in innovative design thinking to recommend actions that would advance the Academic Plan's five themes: Technology, Skills, Learning, Pathways, and Connections. Read the teams' status reports, talk to team members, participate actively in making Mohawk College a student-centred learning organization.
Mohawk College's uniquely inclusive and technologically-driven approach to education delivers both the theoretical and the practical. We bring faculty, students and industry together in a collaborative way that is at once productive, participative and progressive.

Our Academic Plan is fed by five themes:
Timeline
May - September: Task Force to conduct consultation sessions
September: Create draft plan
October: Validation of draft plan
November: Academic Plan to Board for approval
Goal
The Academic Plan consultations will affirm Mohawk's academic priorities for a 10-year period and define our target market for students.
Based on the consultations the Taskforce and Steering Committee will prepare a plan that accomplishes the following:
- Identify opportunities for growth including new programs.
- Identify programs that require improvements.
- Identify programs that should be discontinued or scaled back.
- Recommend new delivery methods that will optimize student learning and maximize the use of resources.
- Recommend partnership opportunities.
