We focus on these themes with a commitment to quality management and cultural diversity. These strategic themes and priorities guide our pursuit of recognition as one of America's top 25 urban public research universities by the end of this century. Known for its breadth of academic programs, publicly assisted, and offering affordable tuition. In partnership with local communities, industries, and governments. Student body, faculty and staff reflect the diversity of the urban region.
Student body is predominantly non-residential and older than students at traditional Universities.
Faculty recognized as contributing to the invention, reinterpretation or innovative application of knowledge and technique. Annually awards 50 or more doctoral degrees. Offers a full range of programs from bachelor's to doctorate, with professional schools, and programs for professional development and life-long learning. The University envisions that in the first years of the 21st century it will be the principal educational, intellectual, and cultural institution in Southeast Florida, serving the people of the region, the state, the nation and the international community by imparting knowledge through excellent teaching, creating new knowledge and solving problems through research, and fostering creativity and its expression in a broad range of disciplines. Future trends are expected to impact upon our attainment of this vision, namely less state support per student, more competition, more accountability and continued student demand and enrollments.
