Overview
The Academic Program at Wilberforce University is designed to enable students to become wholly educated individuals distinguishable in attitude, thought and behavior.
The wholly educated individual:
- Exhibits disciplined habits of mind that include intellectual curiosity and rigor, critical thinking and problem solving, civility and kindness, and a full appreciation and advocacy for social justice
- Embodies racial pride and solidarity, and understands and values the rich culture and history of African-Americans and their contribution to the United States and the Americas
- Appreciates the importance of entrepreneurship and is trained to pursue entrepreneurship as a personal vocation, if desired
The Academic Program at Wilberforce University is grounded in the time-honored tradition of the liberal arts but has an intentional focus on entrepreneurship that addresses the aptitudes, interests, and aspirations of the millennial student.
This overarching goal is realized through five core statements:
- Introduce students to the canon and intellectual traditions of the liberal arts as a foundational body of knowledge and experience.
- Introduce students to the canon of African-American and non-Western intellectual, cultural, and artistic traditions as a foundational body of knowledge and experience.
- Introduce students to the methods of intellectual inquiry and disciplined habits of mind that include critical thinking, problem solving, technological literacy, and communication.
- Introduce students to the values, assumptions, and behavior expected of the educated individual in a civilized society.
- Introduce students to the values, skills and behaviors needed to pursue personal aspirations for business ownership and entrepreneurship.
Graduates of Wilberforce University are fully prepared to pursue graduate and professional study, careers in corporate environments, and entrepreneurship and business ownership.
