Mission Statement of Siena Heights University

The mission of Siena Heights, a Catholic university founded and sponsored by the Adrian Dominican Sisters, is to assist people to become more competent, purposeful, and ethical through a teaching and learning environment which respects the dignity of all.

The Mission for Graduate Studies at SHU

The graduate programs support the mission of Siena Heights University by fostering the personal and professional living of a purposeful, competent, and ethical life. 

Graduate students demonstrate these life and academic skills through high-level Leadership practices, such as listening, collaboration, research, and service. We practice inclusion by gathering and affirming a diversity of ideas and values.

The act of “service” is prevalent in Graduate course content, discussions, and assignments.
