Students seeking careers in business administration, criminal justice/fire science/security, health sciences and nursing have for years been prepared to assume leadership positions in their chosen professions by the College of Professional Studies. Our faculty, expert in their disciplines and actively involved in their professions, collaborate with students to shape the most appropriate learning experience. The experience is one that offers the opportunity to: be knowledgeable in their discipline, be able to intelligently locate resources, think analytically, conceive creative effective solutions, acquire technological skills and engage in thoughtful ethical and philosophical inquiry.
Our mission is to offer an excellent, student-centered education by means of a comprehensive liberal arts curriculum combined with a professional, theoretical and applied experience. Our graduates, educated in a university which is an integral part of its "urban home," have developed the interpersonal skills, communication techniques and cultural insight necessary to effectively contribute and to succeed in our global community.
The General Studies Curriculum
The general studies curriculum at the University is primarily offered by the College of Arts and Sciences. Of the 128 credits needed for graduation, every student is required to take 66 credits from the liberal arts courses offered. It is believed that this experience serves to extend students' perspectives about the nature of man, woman, and the earth and how events effect and are affected by people.
The purpose of the liberal arts general studies curriculum is to introduce students to the fundamental realms of knowledge in the areas of the natural sciences, social sciences, arts and media, humanities, multicultural disciplines and languages, and quantitative and computer literacy. Study in each of these areas makes a unique contribution to human rationality and feeling.
