Mission, Values & Vision
The Mission, Values and Vision of Jacksonville University, a private, independent institution offering baccalaureate and selected masters degrees, are articulated in the following statements approved by the Board of Trustees.
Mission
The Mission of Jacksonville University is to prepare each student for life-long success in learning, achieving, leading and serving.
This mission will be accomplished as a small, comprehensive, independent university community located within a vibrant urban setting. The University serves an ethnically and geographically diverse, predominantly undergraduate student body, as well as adult learners in selected undergraduate and graduate programs.
The Jacksonville University learning community will provide personalized service, close student-faculty interaction and an extensive array of educational and co-curricular programs. Our learning experience will emphasize engaged learning, the integration of thinking with doing, and the combination of professional preparation with a strong liberal arts foundation.
Values
In the Jacksonville University learning and living community we value:
- students and the quality of their learning/living experience as the highest priority
- faculty and student engagement in teaching, learning, and extending knowledge within an environment of excellence and academic freedom;
- service to the University, community, and society; and
- honesty, integrity, and mutual respect
Vision
Jacksonville University will be known for developing graduates who are distinctively well prepared for lives of continuous learning, achievement, leadership and service.
The focus of Jacksonville University will be on creating a complete learning environment where students can develop and experience academic, social, and personal success. Students will feel that Jacksonville University is their academic home; a home in which they feel safe, secure, appreciated, and involved. The foundation of this effort will be the full-time undergraduate program, complemented by selected professional and graduate programs.
