We are a Catholic institution of learning dedicated to advancing the frontiers of knowledge in the theoretical and applied fields through quality graduate education that is comprehensive and responsive to the needs of society.

We are committed to the formation of scholars and high-quality professionals who are ethical, competent, compassionate, and committed to the service of their respective professions, the Church, the nation, and the global community.

We envision a Graduate School that stands for excellence and innovation and that is globally recognized for its distinct degree programs and quality research outputs.

The Graduate School commits itself to develop:听

1. Competent professionals who, inspired by the ideals of St. Antoninus of Florence, promote excellence in the production, advancement, and transmission of specialized knowledge and skills in the sciences, the arts, and community service;听
2. Scholarly researchers and creative thinkers who, kindled by St. Thomas Aquinas鈥檚 ardour for truth, aspire to become fonts of intellectual creativity and, in their quest for quality research, are proficient and critical in assessing and communicating information in various fields that impact the professions, the Church, the nation, and the global community;听
3. Professional Christian leaders who, touched by St. Dominic de Guzman鈥檚 apostolic fire and warmed by Mary鈥檚 motherly care, articulate ethics and truth, high level of moral maturity in resolving issues and promoting social justice and compassion for the poor, and care for the environment;听
4. Globally engaged citizens who, with ardent advocacy for life, promote a deeper understanding of tolerance and justice as well as linguistic, religious, and cultural diversities as a result of precise evaluation of modern problems and inquiries;听
5. Committed scholars who, nurtured by the dogmas of Christian faith and values, are dedicated to the pursuit of truth through the promotion of an intellectual culture that values academic rigor and freedom of scientific investigations; and听
6. Lifelong learners who, empowered by St. Antoninus of Florence鈥檚 zeal for learning, are committed to the advancement of a higher culture through a continuous search for intellectual inquiries and new knowledge as well as faithfulness to Catholic intellectual traditions.听

2. Exhibit a higher level of writing, both in terms of craft and of philosophical/socio-political/moral insights, as well as articulate their own poetics.听
3. Epitomize a high level of professionalism as creative writers, as well as take their place as leaders of the literary community, not just in the University but in the larger society;听
4. Write their own books of poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction and/or drama that effectively communicate their ideas to their intended audience;听
