realize their educational goals. SOUTHEASTERN’s first priority is to promote the welfare and intellectual progress of students. To fulfil our mission, we design programs and activities to help students develop the academic competencies, professional skills, critical and creative abilities and ethical values of learned persons who live in a democratic society, an interdependent world and a technological age; we seek to foster a rigorous and contemporary understanding of the liberal arts, sciences and professional disciplines. In a challenging yet supportive environment and at an affordable cost, SOUTHEASTERN provides the following programs: 1) Accounting, Finance and Economics 2) Management 3) Marketing and General Business 4) Computer Science 5) Natural Sciences and Engineering 6) Mathematics 7) Humanities 8) Social Sciences and Communication. The student’s experience will be powerfully rewarding. The rewards will come not only in intellectual satisfaction, but also in philosophical enrichment and in the benefits of social life. 1. To preserve, foster and transmit the cultural and intellectual heritage of our pluralistic, interdependent and changing world. 2. To foster academic freedom by assuring that its members may express their ideas openly and freely. 3. To provide a setting in which students may acquire and develop skills of intellectual inquiry and values of human understanding. 4. To encourage students to realize their greatest creative potential and make substantial contributions to society as educated persons, skilled professionals and thoughtful citizens. 5. To provide opportunities for students and faculty to challenge their abilities and to examine critically the values of culture and society. 6. To cultivate in the student an understanding that SOUTHEASTERN experience is a segment of a lifelong process of study and learning. 7. To provide programs supporting the admission, retention and education of populations that have not had equal education opportunity and to provide all students with a meaningful range of services, facilities and opportunities for personal development. 8 Goals and Objectives 1. SOUTHEASTERN recognizes teaching, research and public service as its major responsibilities. Of these, lower level instruction has first priority. A second major priority is to offer quality upper level and advanced level instruction and programs in areas in which there is particular faculty strength and an important social need. Research that advances and encourages learning is integral to all instruction and is supported by SOUTHEASTERN. SOUTHEASTERN fulfils its major responsibility in public service through its teaching and research. It also serves its community as a center of culture, science and technology and encourages the community to draw on the special talent of its faculty and students. 2. SOUTHEASTERN recognizes that the primary goals of the instructional program are to increase the ability of the students to learn, to think critically, to express their ideas clearly and cogently, to understand themselves, their culture and their society, both past and present and to appreciate the multicultural diversity of their world. Students must also demonstrate competency in analytical skills and methods of intellectual inquiry and develop an appreciation of aesthetic values. In maintaining these goals, SOUTHEASTERN is committed to providing a foundation in the liberal arts and sciences for all
