Academic Excellence Defined:
Academic excellence is a continual campus-wide process in which students, faculty and staff are fully engaged as a community of learners fostered by academically challenging programs, intellectual and scholarly investigations and culturally and spiritually enriching experiences. A deepened commitment and improved engagement will allow our learners to enhance their personal, intellectual and spiritual growth and will give them a desire and appreciation for life-long learning (FDC – Learning and Teaching for Academic Excellence).

Values
The University of Dayton’s mission statement articulates that the fundamental purpose of the institution includes more than just acquisition of discipline-specific knowledge and skills. The University of Dayton is a comprehensive Catholic university, and a diverse community committed, in the Marianist tradition, to educating the whole person and to linking learning and scholarship with leadership and service (Vision 2005: The Foundation).
The mission of the School of Education and Allied Professions is grounded in the university’s mission. The mission of the SOEAP is to educate distinctive graduates who will effectively and efficiently utilize the highest quality of learning and scholarship and engage all students in building strong learning communities and in developing collaborative, caring partnerships.
The conceptual framework of the School of Education and Allied Professions (SOEAP) at the University of Dayton identifies four unit outcomes. Every student is expected to: a) embrace diversity for the promotion of social justice, b) develop as a scholarly practitioner, c) engage in building community, and d) engage in critical reflection. These four outcomes are grounded on the University’s Marianist heritage and on the professional standards associated with the programs within the four departments that comprise the SOEAP.
