The Board of Trustees approved on December 6, 2002 (amended June 6, 2003), the following goals for undergraduate education that will guide the development of a new university core curriculum and refinement of undergraduate major and minor programs of study:

1. Build students' capacities for effective communication, critical thinking and ethical decision-making.
2. Expand the horizons of students' understanding of themselves and the world through a breadth of learning in the liberal arts and sciences.
3. Provide students with a genuine depth of learning in at least one discipline or professional field.
4. Ensure that students complete their baccalaureate education with an understanding of the realities of the 21st century, the significance of faith traditions in life-long actions and decisions, and a commitment to building a more just and humane society.
