In April 2004, the State Planning Committee for Higher Education was formed by the Maryland Higher Education Commission.

The 2004 biannual update of the State Plan for Higher Education was based on the findings of the State Planning Committee for Higher Education. For the Maryland Higher Education Commission, the Committee examined enrollment trends, costs of education, workforce issues, and cost efficiencies. The Committee also sought ways to ensure that college is accessible and affordable for Marylanders. In December 2004, the Commission submitted the Plan for the next two years to the Governor. Higher education institutions worked collaboratively with the Commission to implement the Plan.
