Mission and Values

Our mission is to educate women to lead and influence.

We educate at all degree levels through valuing and integrating the liberal arts and professional education within the Catholic intellectual tradition, emphasizing scholarly inquiry and social justice teaching as lived by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet.

We welcome a rich diversity of students, with a baccalaureate college for women at the heart of the University and graduate and adult colleges for women and men. Committed to excellence and opportunity, 亚色影库 develops leaders who act with integrity.

Our mission is based on three core principles 鈥 women, Catholic, liberal arts 鈥 supported by three endowed chairs.

Our vision is to be respected globally for educating women who transform the world.

Covenant

Since 1905, we have worked with the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, St. Paul Province to enable our complementary missions to flourish. In every way the Province as founder and sponsor, and the University as a significant ministry of the Province, have been 鈥渄ear neighbor,鈥 each to the other.

This Covenant nurtures and sustains this most important partnership and continues the positive relationship between the Sisters of St. Joseph and 亚色影库 that has existed for more than a century.
