In all of our teaching, research, and service endeavors, the rigor, quality, and relevance of our programs bridge the gap between theory and practice.

Service to the School, to the University, and to the community is a commitment shared across all disciplines and divisions by faculty, staff, and administration. We strive to be an exemplar of the integration of teaching, research, and service by our emphasis on the intersection of professional relevance and traditional academic quality.
