Mission

The College of Applied and Collaborative Studies prepares students to engage with a rapidly changing world through partnership and innovation. We create ongoing opportunities for students to learn and grow in an inclusive, challenging environment.

Vision

The College of Applied and Collaborative Studies will cultivate excellence among the faculty, staff, and the next generation of scholars and global community leaders. We will earn recognition as a leader in multidisciplinary, project-based education, and in providing educational opportunities for adult learners and diverse populations. These redesigned educational opportunities will serve our triple bottom lines, improving economic, social, and environmental outcomes in our region and the world.

Values

• Collaboration: We work across traditional boundaries, within and across the university and with partners in the public and private sectors.
• Community: We invest in public interest practices that prioritize ecological, social and economic benefits for all.
• Innovation: We reimagine and co-create the modern role of the academy, encouraging risk-taking and fostering creative, promising futures for faculty, staff, and students and the communities they touch.
• Authentic Learning Experiences: We identify and craft learning experiences that interweave liberal arts, data analysis, and design principles within the context of problems and projects that build 21st-century professional skills.
