Academic Policies and Procedures
The philosophy of the University states, "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.
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 goals of the advanced student.
