Goals for Undergraduate Degrees
The goal of every undergraduate student is to employ these four questions:

What does it mean to participate in the spiritual and religious dimension of life?

v Character-have a positive impact on the world and on the communities in which they live and work, particularly by recognizing and accepting personal accountability to themselves, to society and to God;
