Mission Statement Thomas University is the school of choice for students in undergraduate and graduate programs to prepare for successful careers and responsible leadership in a rapidly changing and complex world. The faculty and staff value students’ individual strengths, capabilities, and will to succeed, providing the means by which they will achieve personal and professional transformation. Values Thomas University values • dynamic learning environments that engage students in their intellectual and personal development; • rigorous intellectual studies that require creativity, discipline and personal responsibility; • diversity and its use as a learning tool to teach that the world is a better place when respect for the individual is central to our relationship with others; • community involvement, including cultural and artistic experiences, that enriches the lives of our students, as well as their fellow citizens; • individual attention to all students; • a lifetime connection with our students. Role and Scope Statement As a private, not-for-profit, non-sectarian, coeducational institution, Thomas University is committed to providing quality educational opportunities to both traditional and non-traditional, U.S. and international students. The University offers associates, bachelors, and master’s degrees. The academic mission focuses primarily on providing students with professional preparation with a strong liberal arts and sciences foundation. Students develop the capability to think critically, discover information, foster community, and communicate effectively, enabling them to adapt to changing demands over time. Nondiscrimination Policy Thomas University is an Equal Opportunity University open to any qualified individual without regard to race, religion, sex, age, color, national or ethnic origin, or disability. Pursuant to all applicable federal anti-discrimination laws and regulations, Thomas University does not discriminate against any of the protected categories of individuals in the administration of its policies, programs or activities. This non-discriminatory policy includes admission policies, scholarship and loan programs, employment practices, and athletic and other school-administered programs. Diversity Statement At Thomas University, we believe that an environment that fosters respect for the diversity among our faculty, students, and staff strengthens the institution, stimulates creativity, promotes the open exchange of new ideas, and enriches campus and community life. Actions that serve to intimidate others or discriminate against individuals or groups are in conflict with Thomas University’s educational mission to maintain and enhance an intellectual, social, and work environment free from intolerance and discrimination. In addition to and including all applicable state and federal laws prohibiting discrimination, Thomas University is committed to creating an educational environment that promotes academic excellence where diversity is valued and individuals are treated with respect, regardless of race, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, or disability. 8 | Thomas University Confidentiality of Student Records Thomas University complies with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (“Buckley Amendment,” 20 U.S.C. 1230, 1232 g) to better guarantee the rights of privacy and access to student records.
