The undergraduate, graduate, and co-curricular programs at Fairfield University aim to produce students who are committed to academic excellence, who are integrative thinkers, and who are instilled with a sense of civic and/or social responsibility. Below are Fairfield University’s Institutional Learning Goals with measureable outcomes. These were drawn from our University Mission Statement and expanded by the University Assessment Committee with membership across all five academic units and student affairs.

The University Assessment Committee meets bi-monthly to explore assessment processes across the University. In the coming years, new assessment practices will be developed by this committee to broaden our University wide assessment initiatives.

The fast-paced and globally interconnected world that unfolds before us is asking use to recreate and reimagine our institution if we are to remain true to our mission – to transform the world for the better through education.
