UNIVERSITY LEARNING OUTCOMES

Vanguard University’s educational mission is built upon our core values of truth, virtue, and service. Across all undergraduate and graduate degree programs, we seek to equip graduates who will live as beacons of light and make a meaningful, positive impact in an ever-changing world.

TRUTH (Growth in Thought)

Graduates will exhibit critical thinking and a faith-informed perspective on their discipline, communicating effectively in various contexts.

VIRTUE (Growth in Character)

Graduates will demonstrate virtuous character and personal and relational wholeness, practicing skills for building meaningful relationships.

SERVICE (Growth in Leadership and Service)

Graduates will increasingly discern, articulate, and demonstrate a growing sense of vocation, applying skills for contributing to society through compassionate and just civic engagement.

As our undergraduate and graduate students grow in thought, character, leadership, and service, they will become equipped to effectively navigate and contribute to varied professional, relational, and societal contexts with love and wisdom.
