Academic Policies and Procedures
"In an environment where academic freedom, a spirit of inquiry and respect for each individual’s worth and dignity prevail, students acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to meet the challenges of modern life." Graduate education fosters a higher level of scholarly inquiry for expansion of knowledge, self-enrichment and achievement of personal and professional goals. (
Mission of the Office of Academic Affairs)
In addition, graduate, post-graduate, and doctoral education provides innovative courses which allow students to engage in life-long learning experiences and to build upon the knowledge and foundation achieved in undergraduate education. Specially designed programs facilitate career changes and accommodate the needs of the advanced or returning student.
