Mission

A world of global dimensions, increasing population, complexity, and interdependence, requires individuals that are also growing and advancing in capabilities for serving the world‘s communities and meeting societal needs. A primary need of all societal members is a purposive leisure experience. The Department of Professional Studies is specifically designed to facilitate this experience. The mission of this department is to provide the student with a full range and understanding of the nature of living the highest possible quality of life. The union of mind body and spirit allows individuals to reach their highest level of excellence. The Department of Professional Studies provides a wide range of programs emphasizing different kinds of human support services. In addition to emphasizing human needs, the four programs include Business Administration and Fashion Merchandizing and Management, which are interrelated in nature. The purpose is also to present the student with analysis of different types of activities, and to examine the skills involved in designing and implementing the entrepreneurial nature of the various programs. We specifically address community development and advocacy. The obvious manifestation of the community development process is the partnership opportunity and potential.
