The Mission of Albertus Magnus College
The mission of Albertus Magnus College is to provide
men and women with an education that promotes the
search for truth in all its dimensions and is practical
in its application. Founded by the Dominican Sisters
of Saint Mary of the Springs, Albertus Magnus College,
faithful to its Catholic heritage and the Judeo-Christian
tradition, remains dedicated to providing an opportunity
for learning which responds to the academic needs
and ethical challenges of its students and of society.
The mission of Albertus Magnus College derives from
the intellectual tradition of the Dominican Order
whose essential charism is the search for truth (Veritas).
Reflective of the dedication and commitment to service
of our founder and sponsor, we at Albertus assume
responsibility for the fulfillment of our particular
service as an academic community. Principles which
guide our mission and purpose include the following:
- The College embraces the Liberal Arts tradition and is committed to a vibrant curriculum, including a General Education program, that is both scholarly and humanistically enlarging.
- The College encourages students to participate in academic internships, practica and relevant work experiences as preparation for meaningful careers.
- The College strives to bring together a richly diverse student body and cultivates an atmosphere of mutual respect and ethical behavior.
- The College fosters close, positive interaction between faculty and students, thereby offering broad opportunities for challenge and growth.
- The College provides an educational environment
dedicated to enhancing each student's development,
both as an individual and as a member of society.
- The College prepares students to become responsible, productive citizens and lifelong learners, encouraging them to contribute to their communities and to become moral leaders in a complex world.
