Mission
Statement of the College of Arts and Sciences |
|
|
The College
of Arts and Sciences is the intellectual center of the
University of South Alabama and is the foundation for
establishing and building the quality of the University’s
academic programs.
In the College of Arts and Sciences students receive
broad exposure to all areas of academic inquiry, as
well as in-depth knowledge in their chosen field of
study. The College provides every undergraduate student
at the University, regardless of major, with the fundamentals
of a liberal arts education to enhance students’
knowledge and create an atmosphere in which students
develop their own critical thinking, communication skills,
and the tools with which to carry out independent inquiry.
Such an education promotes a heightened sense of intellectual
curiosity, an appreciation of the values and accomplishments
of the sciences, arts and humanities, and a sense of
awareness and responsibility for the well-being of their
society.
In achieving these educational
goals, the College of Arts and Sciences will:
|
| |
- offer
a full range of subjects in the humanities,
fine arts, social sciences, mathematics, and
the natural sciences.
- encourage
breadth of learning and training in the fundamentals
of scholarship.
- create
and apply knowledge in the arts and sciences
through dedicated research, teaching, scholarship,
and creative works.
-
foster educational exchange within the University,
the Mobile community, and society as a whole.
-
maintain a community of teachers and scholars
devoted to the preservation and discovery of
knowledge and its transmission to students and
to the public.
-
promote an intellectual climate that encourages
lifelong learning and open and free inquiry
- encourage
and support the application of knowledge in
service to the University, the Mobile metropolitan
area, and the wider society.
- promote
diversity, tolerance, and mutual understanding
among all members of the University community
and society as a whole.
- emphasize
the regional uniqueness of southwest Alabama,
including its cultural heritage, its natural
environment, and its strategic location as a
port city on the Gulf of Mexico.
- prepare
students to participate in the larger world
beyond the region by giving them an
awareness of the complexity of global issues
and contexts.
- Prepare students for meaningful and productive
careers and contribute to the development
of an educated work force responsive to the
needs of the region.
