Table 1.0 Congruence of College and Program Mission Statements NWFSC Mission Statement The mission of Northwest Florida State College is to provide quality educational programs and services which enable students to achieve their goals and which enhance the community through academic, vocational, cultural, economic and personal development opportunities. Program Mission Statement The mission of the Northwest Florida State College Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program is to offer dynamic, comprehensive and innovative educational experiences that will enable students to expand their nursing knowledge and enhance their professional skills to meet the health care needs of the community. BSN Program Goals Development of the BSN program goals followed a process similar to that used for the mission statement, using the same background resources, external interest groups, and internal constituencies. This process generated eight major program goals, which appear in Appendix B. Table 2.0 presents the BSN program goals and the specific college goals to which they are directly related. The design of the curriculum, the selection of instructional methods and the determination of student support services provided to the BSN students reflect several additional college goals. (See Appendix A.) Appendix C presents a matrix detailing the relationship of the program goals and content to the provisions of the Essentials and the Standards.
