Mission
Statement
Fort Hays State University, a regional
university principally serving western Kansas, is dedicated to providing
instruction within a computerized environment in the arts and sciences,
business, education, the health and life sciences, and agriculture.
The university's primary emphasis is undergraduate liberal education,
which includes the humanities, the fine arts, the social/behavioral
sciences, and the natural/physical sciences. These disciplines serve
as the foundation of all programs. Graduates are provided a foundation
for entry into graduate school, for employment requiring well-developed
analytical and communication skills, and for lives of ethical and
civic responsibility to better understand global complexities and
an American society of increasing diversity.
Natural outgrowths of the university's
primary emphasis include
pre-professional, professional, master's, and education specialist
programs. A statewide strategic focus of the university is the
integration of computer and telecommunications technology with
the educational environment and the work place.
Scholarship at FHSU is supported because it stimulates faculty
and students, provides new knowledge, connects the disciplines,
and builds bridges between teaching and learning while linking
theory with practice to address the needs of a diverse society.
The university is responsible for providing public
service to the community, the region, and the state of Kansas. Programs
consistent with the university's academic and research activities
emphasize the importance of FHSU as the cultural center of western
Kansas.
