THE MISSION STATEMENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF SCRANTON

Historical Prologue: A comprehensive, co-educational institution, The University of Scranton is by tradition,

choice and heartfelt commitment, a Catholic and Jesuit university. Founded in 1888 as Saint Thomas College by the Most Reverend William G. O'Hara, D.D., the first bishop of Scranton, it achieved university status in 1938, and was entrusted to the care of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) in 1942.

The Mission of the University: The University of Scranton is a community of scholars whose ministry of education is

informed by the vision of life contained in both the Gospels and the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius Loyola. The University is therefore dedicated to freedom of inquiry, the pursuit of wisdom, integrity and truth, and the personal growth and development of all who share in its life and ministry.

The Goals of the University:

As a Catholic and Jesuit University, The University of Scranton will: 1. Share with all the fullness of the Catholic intellectual tradition, the distinctive worldview of the Christian Gospels, and the Spirituality of St. Ignatius Loyola. 2. Educate men and women for others who are committed to the service of faith and promotion of justice. 3. Invite persons from other religious traditions and diverse backgrounds to share in our work and contribute to our mission.

As a Comprehensive University, The University of Scranton will: 4. Offer degree programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels in the traditional disciplines of the liberal arts as well as in pre-professional and professional areas. 5. Provide educational opportunities and support programs that promote the mission of the University, meet the needs and interests of traditional and non-traditional students, and serve the needs of the local region.

As a University in the Liberal Arts Tradition, The University of Scranton will: 6. Offer undergraduate students a core curriculum in the Jesuit tradition based on the arts and sciences. 7. Impart to students the importance of gathering, evaluating, disseminating, and applying information using traditional and contemporary methods. 8. Provide learning experiences that reach beyond the fundamental acquisition of knowledge to include understanding interactions and syntheses through discussion, critical thinking, and application. 9. Promote a respect for knowledge and a lifelong commitment to learning, discernment and ethical decision making.
