Success is Sullivan's heritage & mission

Sullivan University is a private institution of higher learning dedicated to providing educational enrichment opportunities for the intellectual, social, and professional development of its students.  The institution offers career-focused curricula with increasing rigor from the diploma through the associate, bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degree levels. Throughout those curricula, the University seeks to promote development of critical thinking, effective verbal and written communication, computer literacy, teamwork and research as well as an appreciation for life-long learning, cultural diversity and the expression of professionalism in all activities.

The Sullivan University faculty, staff, and administration believe that qualified individuals should have the opportunity to pursue formal academic training at the institution of their choice and welcome those students who seek such educational challenges. The University provides a student-centered learning environment that facilitates students’ identification of their life goals and the means to achieve those goals. Upon completion of a program, the University provides employment assistance to graduates. The mission is achieved by:

• Providing a stair-step curricular progression for students from diploma, to associate, to bachelor’s, to master’s, to doctoral degrees with credentials earned at each level;
• Providing learning experiences in an environment enhanced by student services and activities outside the classroom that enable students to take advantage of their interests and abilities to develop teamwork and leadership capabilities;
• Providing a faculty who possess educational and experiential qualifications for the classes they teach and who emphasize the process of learning as well as the assimilation of knowledge and skills;
• Providing equipment similar to that used in the professions for which the students are educated;
• Providing a technologically state-of-the-art university library whose books, periodicals, professional journals, electronic databases, and e-journals adequately support the programs offered;
• Providing faculty who understand and use active, collaborative, experiential, and problem-based learning strategies in their respective teaching environments;
• Provide graduates the privilege to review, audit, or retake any course they completed without additional tuition;
• Providing employment specialists to assist graduates with their job search at graduation and thereafter as requested throughout the graduates’ working lifetimes.
