University Attributes: Instruction in all disciplines and courses is to be challenging, intellectually stimulating, and current, including discussion, conducted in an atmosphere of academic freedom, of the important moral and other value questions of contemporary society; students are to acquire skills, knowledge, and the ability to use their skills and knowledge creatively now and in the future.

The undergraduate core curriculum is to be structured, integrated, and centered on the humanities especially philosophy and Catholic theology; students are to acquire the arts of precise and elegant expression, a sound and critical grasp of ideas, a familiarity with the modern world's ways of knowing itself, a personal understanding of this nation's history and multicultural heritage, and an appreciation of other cultures around the globe.

Concentrations in the liberal arts and sciences as well as in carefully-selected pre-professional programs are to give students not only technical knowledge and expertise, but also awareness of the larger human context which calls them to use their competencies for personal growth and service to others; similarly, the University's commitment to graduate and professional education is aimed at the formation of men and women of competence and conscience.
