Mission Statement
The Mission of the Department of Adult and Career Education is to facilitate high quality learning and professional development.
Our mission is accomplished through offering nationally accredited baccalaureate, masters and doctoral degrees and engaging in the scholarly pursuits of teaching, research, and service to our profession. Our degree programs integrate theory and practice to enhance professional workforce education and develop the knowledge, skills and dispositions of both traditional and nontraditional undergraduate and graduate students to enter or advance in public school, private sector, government and/or post-secondary education careers at local, regional, state, national and/or international levels. We value diversity and are committed to offering our programs in a collaborative and accessible manner through combinations of on-campus, off-campus and distance learning courses with the students’ career goals serving as the primary guide in the design of their degree program to achieve graduation.
