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 Character of the University: As a Catholic university, The University of Scranton sees in the teaching and example of

Jesus Christ the primary source for the values and attitudes that imbue the culture of its campus. Thus, it seeks to communicate the fullness of the Catholic intellectual tradition to its students in a systematic way. Moreover, in the ecumenical spirit that it has manifested since its founding, the University invites faculty, staff and students from other religious traditions to share in its mission.

As a Jesuit university, The University of Scranton provides its students with a nurturing environment in which a value-laden curriculum challenges them to develop:

? a commitment to the value system contained in the Gospels, ? a principled respect for the dignity of the human person, ? a devotion to justice, ? a dedication to the service of the poor, ? a love of truth and a restless passion for learning. Convinced that the search for truth necessarily involves the search for God, the University also provides its students with opportunities for worship and spiritual development, and for the academic study of theology, religion and religious experience.

As a university dedicated to education in the liberal arts, The University of Scranton requires that all of its students complete a rigorous curriculum designed to foster the development of their analytical and critical abilities. Thus, the core curriculum of the University seeks to impart to students a knowledge of scientific principles, methods and skills, an appreciation of literary and artistic expression, an awareness of historical perspectives, and an understanding of religious, philosophical and moral values.
