Mission Statement
The Aguadilla Campus of the Inter American University of Puerto Rico’s mission aims at the integral formation of its students, through education of excellence, within an ecumenical Christian context, at all levels of formal education, with an emphasis on ethical, civic, democratic, and Christian values. Graduates are trained for the critical analysis of reality and are expected to have broad scientific, humanistic, and technical knowledge. Furthermore, they are taught to become responsible individuals, committed to the environment at the service of an interdependent, pluralistic, and global community, capable of adapting to change. In keeping with this purpose, academic areas are strengthened with special attention to interdisciplinary education, distance education, global initiatives, and technology integration in all areas of knowledge. These are achieved within a universal context through articulated management of institutional operations and resources consonant with political, economic, social, technological, environmental, and cultural changes.
Institutional Priorities
The institutional priorities identify key areas of emphasis for the Campus and are a platform for action that encourages the development of innovative strategies to design, offer, and improve academic programs, services, and activities for students. The Campus mission is aligned with these priorities to inspire success and accountability.
Priority 1. Academic Success and Excellence
Our notion of how academic success and excellence is developed involves creating an academic system of care that offers students transformative experiences through effective programs and services that also provide meaningful opportunities to engage and collaborate with faculty. The markers that contribute to academic success and excellence are examined, paying special attention to those markers that challenge academic success and excellence such as enrollment, retention, and graduation rates. This priority area also examines the role of faculty preparation, development, and scholarship in increasing academic success and excellence. Understanding our own measures for success and excellence is a gateway to improved sustainability, innovation in teaching, and increased opportunities for community engagement.
Priority 2. Sustainability
This priority area enables us to examine how internal and external factors impact our social, human, economic, and environmental reach. It also enables the Campus to explore how these factors intersect with the physical, academic, and administrative operations. In examining these factors, we were able to identify and plan for those that contribute to the successful longevity of our Campus. In doing so, we can contribute to sustaining academic success and excellence, fostering a climate for innovation in teaching, and expanding community engagement practices and experiences.
Priority 3. Innovation in Teaching
This priority gives us the opportunity to examine, refine and add to our current strategies for teaching and doing and to better understand how these strategies contribute to learning. In addition, by focusing on this priority the Campus can explore how new strategies serve to enhance student learning, program offerings, and faculty capabilities and development. Promoting and developing an environment where innovation in teaching is holistically integrated within all structures influences academic success and excellence, promotes long-term sustainability, and increases the reach of community engagement.
Priority 4. Community Engagement
Through this priority, we aim to serve and interact with our broader community in the context of our ecumenical Christian values. These values fundamentally transcend all aspects of the work that we do and as a Campus, we aspire to be distinguished by our contributions to the betterment of society. Community engagement is a key component for establishing academic success and excellence, building sustainability, and paves the way for unique and collaborative partnerships that promote innovative teaching.
Academic Information
Mission and goals are fundamentally linked to the curriculum and students’ learning experiences. The paramount goal of the mission is to provide students with academic experiences that allow students to complete their degrees and become productive professionals and citizens. To achieve the integral formation of students, the Aguadilla Campus provides a university environment in which the practice of ethical and democratic values in a Christian-ecumenical framework is encouraged through holistic education and well-designed academic offerings. The Campus ensures that the curriculum and delivery methods are current and aligned with contemporary tendencies in teaching and learning to graduate students with broad scientific, humanistic, and technical knowledge.
