The University of South Alabama was
chartered in 1963 by the State of Alabama as a
comprehensive, coeducational institution of higher
education. The University serves as a major center of high
quality and accessible undergraduate, graduate, and
professional education for metropolitan Mobile, the State of
Alabama, the Gulf Coast region, and the southeastern United
States.
The University mission actively embraces
the functions of teaching, research, public service, and
health care through which it vigorously pursues the
preservation, discovery, communication and the application
of knowledge. As it grows and develops, the University will
focus its strengths to produce programs of interdisciplinary
excellence that address the special needs of the people it
serves.
Undergraduate education is designed to promote the
growth of the individual to think critically and
analytically, to communicate effectively, to acquire
information and apply it to problem-solving, and to
understand the context of global complexity and
diversity in which knowledge is applied.
The University is committed to the education of the
whole person--the creative person.
To accomplish this, a wide range of
curricular and co-curricular opportunities for students
to expand their cultural, physical and emotional
awareness are provided. The University's environment
must encourage and foster the qualities expected of
leaders, such as integrity, service, stewardship, involvement and respect for individuals, as well as an appreciation for
diversity. Graduate education provides students with increasing
levels of challenge and opportunities for independent investigation, creative achievement, the advancement of knowledge, and
participation in traditional and new forms of scholarly activity in
a broad range of discipline-based and interdisciplinary programs.
These programs will prepare students for new, as
well as traditional, professional and academic careers. Scholarship
is an important aspect of the mission of the University and the
responsibility of every faculty member. The University of South
Alabama will provide quality research and scholarly activity in all
areas of its academic programs and community service activities, as
illustrated by the work of its faculty in business, education, engineering, mathematics, science, fine arts, humanities, and health
sciences. To advance scholarship, the University will provide
appropriate instructional and investigative facilities within an
atmosphere of academic freedom and shared governance. Because of its
location an commitment to the community, the University's academic
health center is an important resource for accomplishing its
mission.
The
University is dedicated to the education of physicians, health scientists, allied health professionals, and
professional nurses who will provide the community and
the region with the highest quality health care. To
promote improved health care in its service region
through research, teaching, and outreach programs, its
hospitals and clinics will offer the latest scientific
and medical technology possible.
The
University is further dedicated to the promotion of
lifelong learning and to the enhancement of access to
education for a variety of individuals and communities.
Thus, it will continue to develop programs that meet the
needs of its evening, weekend, off-campus, and special
program clients who seek both credit and non-credit
learning experiences on campus and at the USA Brookley
campus site. The USA Baldwin County campus will provide
degree programs and other learning opportunities
required by the rapidly growing population in Baldwin
County.
The
University of South Alabama's programs of education, research, public service, and health care are all
founded upon the basis of a reciprocal relationship
between the institution and the community it serves.
Instruction, research, scholarship, public service, and health care that
enhance the economic development of the State and improve the
quality of life and health of its citizens are integral and
essential parts of its mission as a comprehensive, metropolitan
university.
