Vision:
The College
of Arts and Sciences strives to be a college in which students gain
the knowledge, skills, and spirit to be lifelong learners and compassionate
citizens of local and global communities. As a faculty, we seek
to achieve this vision by remaining lifelong learners ourselves,
who pursue meaningful research, creative endeavors, service to campus
and community, and the scholarship of teaching.
Purpose:
To be a community
where students, faculty, and staff cultivate knowledge, skills,
imagination, and moral vision to serve as foundations for contributing
to a diverse world.
Goals:
Recognizing
the centrality of the liberal arts in preparing women and men to
make significant contributions locally and globally, the college
is committed to providing rigorous and intellectually stimulating
academic experiences for all its students. Specifically, we seek
- To provide
intellectually fulfilling undergraduate major programs which prepare
students for professional careers or advanced study.
- To maintain
and develop effective graduate programs which meet high standards
and serve local and regional needs.
- To provide
comprehensive and challenging courses for Belmont's General Education
and University College programs.
- To provide,
in the School of Education, teacher preparation that draws on
the full resources of the college and serves the needs of professional
education.
- To foster
innovation and effectiveness in teaching and learning.
- To cultivate
an enduring habit of ethical reflection and practice.
