Our Mission
As a public liberal arts college, LSA’s mission is twofold:
-
To push the boundaries of what is understood about human experience and the natural world, and
-
To foster the next generation of rigorous and empathetic thinkers, creators, and contributors to the state of Michigan, the nation, and the world.
An in-depth articulation of LSA’s mission, vision, and values is available on our Strategic Vision website.
