University College Mission Statement
The mission of University College at Florida Institute of Technology is to prepare
adult students, wherever they may be located, for rewarding and productive
professional careers in a work environment that is increasingly global in scope, driven
by rapidly changing technology and focused on quality. In pursuit of our mission,
we seek to provide our students with the finest possible graduate and professional
development education using the most appropriate delivery technology. We offer an
education that is reflective of current best practices and that is taught by instructors
who are fully qualified academically and by virtue of professional practice.
Statement of Values and Beliefs
We, the faculty and staff of University College, believe that learning is a lifelong
process that need not be constrained by time or place. We believe that learning is a
cooperative process involving the joint responsibility of both students and teachers.
We believe that knowledge resides in many places and in many forms, and it is the
purpose of a university to acquire and disseminate this knowledge as widely and
as completely as possible. Finally, we believe in the fundamental importance of
traditional values as the basic underpinnings of our educational processes.
