The foundation for Clemson's Academic Plan is a call to focus our talents, energies and resources on eight broad "emphasis areas" that foster collaboration and promote the integration of teaching, research and service. Instead of marshalling all of our resources to departments and colleges, we will focus on programs that provide interdisciplinary research and service venues, unique platforms for enhanced scholarship, and increased opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students.
